Please could I benefit from people's opinion and experiences in relation to completing a financial assessment form for the council to assess whether or not the council will fund any respite care for my mother?
There's an option for non-disclosure for non-residential services but as we're talking about respite care I think I have to fill it in, but as mum's assets are way over £23k (I understand this is the maximum you can have) I know she won't get any help.
My reluctance is two-fold.
1 It's considerable effort on my part as dad left her with multiple accounts, savings etc to fill in the form and provide copies of everything (I work full time and have a teen with learning difficulties)
2 My experience with the council and social services in relation to both parents has not been good and I really am uncomfortable providing this level of detail to a council that's not covered itself in glory.
What do others think?
