A person with dementia may be disregarded if they are severely mentally impaired. This applies to anyone who meets all of the following criteria:
- has a severe impairment of intelligence and social functioning which appears to be permanent,
- has a certificate confirming this impairment from a registered medical practitioner, usually the person’s GP or consultant,
- is entitled to certain disability benefits - the most common qualifying benefits are Attendance allowance (lower or higher rate), Disability living allowance (higher or middle rate care components) and Personal independence payment (lower or higher rate of the daily living component).
That doesn't mention capacity, which https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/legal-financial/assessing-capacity covers.

I really don’t understand half of what goes on with the council tax rebates etc, but if you qualify for pension credits you don’t pay council tax?!
Anyways ..... I just keep filling in the forms & sending them back
Mum keeps getting rebates & her finances are now getting beyond my paltry understanding so hubby of the soon to be sainthood is filing all paperwork & in charge of finances!
Phew!!!
Only so many hours in the day !

I can sympathise.I have done housework today and walked the dogs.I got my hair cut (finally)and chose my new glasses (again)finally!I haven’t done any of dads paperwork today.Maybe tomorrow.Then back to him Monday for a trip to Sainsbury’s (wonderful not)!We spend 3 hours in the cafe and is is so painful!
.It looked like it was going to be sunny Cornwall today but not so!..Dad has carers all day today so they can deal with anything.I get to the stage where I am not sleeping at night but hey ho I will tonight.Take care.The not sleeping at night but I sympathise with. I yo-yo between exhaustion & comatose.
As for hair- funny story!
Saved up to have baby highlights to even out the grey! Ended up with Donald trump hair & £200 lighter after going back & saying I’m not happy!

I shaved my hair years ago for cancer ♋️ research.Then again for me.So I think the GI Jane would be preferable
I am afraid that I would look like a drag queen if I did that!!
Plus think hubby who is follically challenged would pass out in shock if I had less hair than him !!
Either that or die laughing!!!

I once went sleep walking and cut off all my hair with scissors - didnt discover it until it got to morning and there was a pile of hair on the floor with scissors next to it!
No, I definitely sleepwalked as the scissors/hair was downstairs and I woke up in the morning upstairs in my bed with no hair.
I have been known to sleepwalk at other times, but this is the only time I have done something like that.
