Thank you, I guess like most who find their way here I do have a query.
ATM I won't go into the full background but ask if anyone knows about current situation.
Uncle who has mixed vascular dementia was recently visited by a social worker at home, who then took him into a care home initially for some respite. Uncle was already on a care package and paying an amount towards this after being means tested by the local authorities social services department. I completed the paper work.
The social worker has requested copies of bank statements via phone call, I sent screen shots of up to date balances, throught text he again requested statements, can he do this, and how do I stand in regards to privacy and data protection regarding uncles information.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.
P.S. This social worker also says Uncle has mental capacity to make decisions, though constantly misplaced keys and says I or family have taken them and locked him in.
Thanks Paul
