Hi my father in law has recently been diagnosed. However, they have not had any information regarding support other than attendance allowance .
Mother in law is just coping but doesn't know who to go to for advice and help. She did speak to someone at the local society but finds it impossible to talk about John whilst he is about, which is all the time now.I can see that she is exhausted as John is up from am every night. Should they be seeking help from social services or via the Gp?
My husband, their son, works abroad and I live a good 2 hours away so am being supportive by phone but am a loss myself as to how to advise.
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I am a newbie so am feeling my way here.
