Hello Everyone,
My Mother was diagnosed with A.D. 2 years ago. She is 75 and has a number of other severe disabilities. I am now finding it difficult to cope, and have spoke to Mum and the social worker, and have all agreed that residential care will be the best option for Mum.
As Mum owns her own house I understand that we will have to rent or sell it to finance the care. Her income is made up from a couple of small private pensions,
state pension, attendance allowance and pension credits.
I am so confused with the rules, Does anyone know if we can keep the attendance allowance, pension credits and state pension to help pay for the cost of care?
Regards
Nigel
p.s. I don't live with Mum and am registered as e.p.a
