Father's only income is his £24.40 per week pocket money left by the Government after his pensions go towards his care home fees.
Over the years he has taken out a couple of funeral plan policies with Sun Life. They amount to £30 per month. Can the LA who carried out his financial assessment be asked that he is left this amount over and above his £24.40 weekly amount pls?
I was thinking of telling him to stop the payments but don't know if what he has accrued will be frozen and there will still be something towards the cost of a funeral or whether what he has accrued will be "lost" if the monthly payments cease.
TIA
