I am applying for carer's allowance after 20 years of caring for mum, and want to make sure I qualify as an invisible is predicted to kick off about it.
I am on 24/7 call out with Telecare.
I do all hospital/doctors visits (recorded with NHS)
I sort out all medications with the chemist (they know me by name)
I sort all things needed, heating systems, wet rooms, decorating, hospital beds
I attend all falls (many) the emergency services knows my name
I am recorded as next of kin.
I take numerous calls a day needing visits to give her reassurance.
The emergency services call me if there is an incident as on record as the person to call
Her friends know I do everything she needs, last night for example she lost her keys, I dealt with it and got her back into her home.
She's had a flood I've dealt with it and sorted the insurance, cleaned it up.
Much more but won't list everything.
I just know an invisible will be seriously hacked off and try to cause trouble which is why I haven't applied before but now I need to. Invisible lives 100 miles away I am
up the road from mum, literally minutes which is why I deal with it all. Will my invisible have a case?
