I've just picked up a printout of my husband's "problems" from our surgery. I needed a letter confirming his diagnosis so that I could apply for a blue badge on his behalf. The doctor left a message with the receptionist to say that this printout should be enough. All it is is a list of dates of medical conditions my husband has had.
The bit that relates to dementia is as follows :-
.......Date ......... .....................Problem.........................................................Associated Text
24-Apr-2018.................[X]Dementia in Alzheimer's disease...............frontotemporal
When we lived in Wales my husband attended the memory clinic starting 2015 and he was first diagnosed with MCI. After a while my doctor gave the opinion that it had progressed to dementia but I could not get confirmation of this from the memory clinic. He did have a scan but I was told no further information was available from this.
When we moved to England (March 2018) we had of course to find a new doctor. Then some time later I needed to fill in a form that asked for the type of dementia. I spoke to our new doctor on the phone and was told it was Alzheimer's, and that was all. But this new information has confused me. Can anyone help?
