I have looked after mum for many, many years. Holidays, shopping, home maintenance, everything possible.
Latterly, building a 'granny flat' at my home. Mum has gone into care, and I have put an 'all monies' charge on her home in 'lieu' of the costs for the above. It's not me being mercenary, but after working and paying tax all her life, it really aggravates me that the local authority could possibly do the same? Mums carehome fees at the moment will be paid from pension and me.
Does anyone know if this would stand up against the LA?
