Hello, sorry folks it has been so long since I lasted posted on this site. My mum keeps losing her bank card or forgetting her pin number. The bank have cancelled many of her card, issue and sent new ones and new pin numbers. It has reached the situation where we have give her money for shopping as she is finding it difficult to use the bank card now. I don't have yet LPA, so I am having to give her cash out of my own money weekly. Four months ago she agreed to let me and my partner to act as her LPA. We went to the solicitors and signed the paperwork. We received official confirmation from the Court of Protection that she agreed to let us be her LPA but we hit another brick wall. The solicitor contacted me to say that my mother rang the reception at the law firm saying she doesn't remember meeting the solicitors and agreeing to LPA. She told them that she wasn't going to pay for the fees. So the Solicitors had to sent the papers back to their head office to put in their archives until the invoice was paid. So I paid the invoice and then we hit another brick wall. The solicitor rang us to say that my mother need to be assessed again by her doctor to determined whether she has mental capacity or not. We received a letter from them saying that my mother will let us act as her LPA if her doctor assessed her as not having mental capacity. Last week she went to her doctor to be assessed but we don't what the outcome of the Assessment. At her doctors, we would have to fill in a form and pay the fee of £20 for a copy of a letter. To top it off 2 weeks ago she went in A&E complaining of pains in her arms and the doctor found a lump in her chest, urged her to get it check. This week coming she is having an mammogram but there is no way of knowing what the diagnosis will be as I do not have yet LPA. So if the doctor has assessed her having mental capacity, it will be very difficult to help her with her finances and get information about her health. Me and my Partner are feeling very frustrated as we keep coming up against a brick wall. We try and help my mum as much we can. She has daily Carers who visited twice a day. I am very worried about whether the lump in her breast will be positive and whether she will up to having treatment for it. She is getting more forgetful now. Very depressed and teary. What is the best approach when she may have the treatment. Very worried.
