Hi all, I have read some of the posts on here, been reading them for a while and been advised by AS helpline to contact DVLA and Adult Social Care about my mother. Background: my father had an initial appointment with the Memory Clinic, and had a CT scan, but does not accept there is a problem, will not engage with the hospital (has discharged himself) and is not accessing any treatment at all. He is going rapidly downhill and my mother has become his carer. He has all the symptoms listed on here for early/middle stages of vascular dementia, and is developing the symptoms listed as progression/later stages. My mother is really struggling. I was advised by the AS help line to call Adult Social Care, they won't do anything without her consent. She has refused to give this as she is frightened of the consequences. DVLA can only investigate where there is a known medical condition affecting ability to drive. As there is no confirmed diagnosis (didn't ge the second set of tests etc done and no final report), I am not confident they will do anything.
I believe there is coercive control, and I don't know what else I can do. Helpline acknowledged that he cannot be dragged to the GP/clinic, and to focus on my mother, but my mother is too frightened to access help.
