Hi
We are some way through the diagnosis of dementia for my elderly mother, going for a ct next week.
It all started when she rang me crying that she had no money, sure enough she had fallen foul of the telephone swindlers who got her debit card information, when she showed me her bank statements this had been going on for a couple of years for extended warranties etc. to a total of almost £4k. Fortunately her savings are intact and I managed to recoup £1k. However, this resulted in having to close her current account and I set up a new bank account online for her.
She has trouble remembering her pin number which has resulted in me doing her banking, so I felt we must go down the LPA route.
Could anyone let me know what will happen at the bank when we go in with the LPA as I am worried that she will forget her pin again as she may be asked for this due to the fact that she (nor I for that matter) have any photo id .
Thanks
