Hello, my father went into a care home on December 23rd 2015 with dementia, he is 92. I cared for him when he was living in his housing association bungalow, I am his daughter and next of kin.
Tomorrow I am seeing a solicitor about getting a Guardian deputy ship for myself because I cannot access his bank account.
My real question is, I am a single parent ( an older mum) and I get government help in the form of child tax allowance and family tax allowance. I have already paid out £200 for a skip hire, will have to pay for my son to hire a van to get the rest of the furnishings removed and the Guardian deputy ship will cost about £1, 700, £400 will have to payed up front to the court, which I will have to pay, the rest will go to the solicitor and I should get the £400 back in about 6 months time. It is straight after Christmas and that £600 + is money I will need, I am self employed.
Can I get any financial help with the costs regarding the above or has anyone been i that situation. I do not own my own home, I pay rent to a Housing Association. Also there are five of us children, but I am the only one who has stayed in contact with my father and been there for him over the years.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, any responses would be very much appreciated. I am probably clutching at straws here, but the worry and stress of it all is causing problems, as I have medical conditions, but I am not disabled.
