Hi all, myself and my brother are currently helping dad complete attendance allowance application for mum, who has dementia. Although she is only just in the process of being formally diagnosed she is already at middle stage ( they’ve been struggling for some time but not wanted to seek help or admit what’s happening 😔 ) and has delusions and rarely leaves the house. Mum and dad have only ever had separate bank accounts. I understand the attendance allowance would be paid into mums account- will dad be allowed to withdraw it without POA? (He knows all her account details, they’ve just always had separate accounts) She won’t go to the bank to set up a joint account, can he do this on his own given her condition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
