Hi there everyone - wonder if any one can shed some light on a letter i received from East Sussex County Council re my dad - i have power of attorney.
It is asking for me to sign over to them the power to look into with the Dept of work and pensions whether we should be paying/ or claiming entitlements for dad's care.
He is currently on a section 119 and we do not have to pay towards his care - is there a catch here - are they trying to find a way that my mum has to contribute?
I have a feeling that the level of care has changed due to his almost bedridden state - only gets out of bed for occasional sits in a chair, sleeping most of the time and not always eating due to being asleep. Could this be the reason?
A bit worried as we have no means of contributing to his care as mum only gets dads and her single pension.
Would be graeful if anyone has been through this process if they could let me know what they are after - there's no way they are going to give us anything!!
Thank you Sue
