Hello to you all.
I'm new to this forum. My mother has Alzheimer's - diagnosed about 4 years ago.
My father gave up work to be with her at home, having run his own business for over 20 years.
He is not coping too well of late.
I have organised power of attorney for him and my mother and I see them every weekend but I would like to know if anyone has any experience of applying for attendance allowance.
My father hasn't come around to the idea but I think its time to get the paper work in order for him as her carer later on.
She's not had a great deal of help from the local NHS GP but has been helped a lot by a private GP in London.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
