First happy new year everyone, following from my last postings, my mother "recovered" from her broken hip,and subsequent infection, or at least it is more accurate to say she did not die as she is now even more confused and immobile than before which I wouldnt have imagined was possible.
So now she is "home"...and now we are nearly 2 years into care fees, I am getting concerned about funding.
I decided to invest some of her money in National Savings partly to split it and protect it and partly interest rates are no so bad it seemed a good bet.
Firstly I was suprised to see its only possible to invest 30k but thats ok if thats the rules.
I could not find find anything on their website about POA, so I downloaded the application, filled it in and sent it off with copy of POA, cheque showing me as POA and explanatory letter.
Received response and cheque back telling me they cant accept the application !
Surely this cant be right?? I cant possibly be the first person to apply in these circumstances!
Has anyone else had this experience?
