Happyharry,
I must commend you on the way you write your posts and the language you use as they are so clear and easy to understand. Much better than most of the legal/court officials I deal with on a regular basis.
I am unable to offer any help apart from the fact that although judges can often be wrong it can be best to follow their lead as sometimes when they do not side with your views it may well be that they are suggesting it is time to reassess if you are going down the correct route.
From what you have said (and obviously only one side of the events) it may well appear that your Brother has squirrelled away some of your Mother's pension over the years however it will be very hard to prove. The only way you will know if the Police will get involved is to ask them. You may be lucky and find it is one of their "targets" this month.
Below there are some quotes from your posts and they have given me questions which obviously you do not have to answer.
Did anyone have Power of Attorney for your Mother? If not who did you assume was looking after, not only her pension, but also her well being. To be on CHC your Mother would be pretty poorly and as you say "locked in" so would not have capacity to do things herself. Who was looking after her best interests?
Why was it you had no say in your Mother's funeral or burial place?
You have seen notes from the home & medical records but did not you or someone else actually see how your Mother was being cared for, clothed or the state of her TV or furniture? You say your Brother only gave her a small amount of money. Did she actually need any more?
I do not ask to be harsh in anyway however you seem very aggrieved with how your Mother was treated whilst alive, with how she was buried and her finances. Is there a reason you did not question any of this at the time?

All these years, I have never asked how her pension was being paid on her behalf. I assumed somebody must be looking after her interests and I trusted them to do right by her...................................................
............................................I am therefore sure, upon reflection, that he put Mum in the wrong grave to vex me for the foreseeable future..........................................................
I have a note from the nursing home which records that he was "happy" for them to smash all of Mother's furniture and electrical items, suggesting that she had the same television since 1999. He also let slip that her clothes were ill-fitting and he suggested this was because she was old and infirm..............................................................................................................
..........................................I have a note from Mother's earlier medical records in which she is recorded as being deeply concerned with a photograph in her room of some children. She kept telling the doctor that they have no food. I am heartbroken that my mother might have had to suffer the indignation of being kept on less money than a dog, but had no way to express herself due to her locked in syndrome.
