Hi
I’m new to this forum. My mother’s partner, aged 83, has Alzheimer’s. My mother now lives with him full time because of COVID 19. His sons have power of attorney and have recently taken his bank debit card off him. They have left him with a credit card but he can’t withdraw cash on it so has no cash. He recently became very agitated about not having his debit card but got muddled when he tried speaking to his sons. They reluctantly emailed him bank statements and my mother saw the sons had transferred £4000 each because they are furloughed. Neither don is very caring and they are happy to let my elderly mother do all the care, showering her partner, cooking, cleaning and shopping without a car. Obviously support is non existent under lockdown and my mum is very isolated with her partner. I feel extremely angry that they’ve taken this money as they are solvent adults who should be able to stand on their own feet. I don’t have a relationship with them but feel I want to say something. Any thoughts please?
