Hi, I hope everyone is well,
I’m new here and just wondered if anyone has any kind suggestions or signposts.
Our much loved one lives with Alzheimer’s and their needs are increasing in complexity. They are in hospital after being sectioned (past 5 months). This is some distance away. Their past wishes were always to give money towards fuel expenses to family, to enable visits to them.
No LPA was made by them: deputyship is in place.
Recently, OPG have communnicated that the fuel payments made by the deputy to family for visits must cease. I have contested this, stating that it was in line with our loved one’s wishes, is in our loved one’s best interests to have this support; they have sufficient estate etc. - OPG still said no.
Struggling to be able to visit our loved one in the light of the current costs/rising prices.
I asked for OPG complaints procedure and am in the process of writing to them again as don’t feel this decision is in our loved one’s best interests.. Doctor of loved one has kindly written a supporting letter.
It all feels so uphill.
Vdry appreciative of the support of Alzheimers’ Society and Admiral Nurses.
-Also in the process of preparing to attend an appeal re: withdrawal of our loved one’s CHC funding eight months ago.
-so many acronyms!
Thank you for reading.
