I have recently got COP for my father and was told to open new bank accounts for my mother and father.
My father is in a care home funded by LA. I have asked for all his pension to be put into his new account so the LA can take what is needed towards his care, but Ihave been told that my mother should get half of his private pension and this should not be taken by the LA. Do I transfer the half of his pension into her bank account or should I leave it in his. I have to do a report for the COP and don't want to get this wrong.
