My mother died just over a year ago and the solicitor is handling probate. As my mother received pension credit and attendance allowance as well as her normal pension the DWP are scrutinizing all her accounts.
I kept records of all purchase I made for her (care fees, food orders, utility bills etc).
However I occasionally transferred a small amount of £75 to my own account to cover small incidental purchases of toiletries, food and hospital parking for which I did not keep receipts. I understood this amount was allowed by DWP who are now querying the transfers and want more details.
I have explained this to the solicitor.
I am unsure how to prove how money was spent without receipts, I an happy to repay such small amounts to help finalise probate.
My brother 'borrowed' thousands from my mother before I had POA, and has been demanding his share of the estate.
