My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2011. She is now living in sheltered accommodation and, fortunately, she is receiving good care. However, I do all the shopping for my mother and look after her financial affairs. I have Power of Attorney for my mother and in the past three years I have been asked to provide evidence of this on several occasions. Taking the documents to a local organisation for them to be checked has been no problem but I am becoming increasingly reluctant to post the documents to organisations in other cities. Just recently, I have received requests to post the documents to DWP in Northern Ireland, and to EON in London. I live in the North-West and, frankly, I don't want to post the actual documents to either place. Surely there must be some way I can prove to these organisations that I do indeed have Power of Attorney for my mother without having to post the original documents over and over again? I would be interested to hear if anyone has found a solution to this problem.
