Hello first time poster!
I have just received a letter today asking why i did not inform Attendance Allowance of my mams care home hospital stay.
My mam was put in emergency respite as my Dad collapsed (me and dad are carers) i was informed she could stay 28 days before i had to tell dwp, it never got to 28 days my mam was neglected and was in hospital very poorly with sepsis, my dad was also in hospital and i was going between the two. I think she was in just over 4 weeks.
My dad got out for a week and was rushed back in. I was exhausted i have two children and work full time also.
Fast forward to now, shes settled in a new home and was funded my the nhs for 4 weeks and was told i didnt have to do anything until she became a permanent resident which i did.
Now i am anxious anyway and i am having a right carry on with pension credit etc, and i really dont know what to do.
Has anyone else had this?
Thanks x
