My Nanna has had Alzheimers for many years now and resides in a Nursing Home.
She turned 80 last year and has been receiving an occupational pension since retirement age.
A few weeks ago, she received a letter from her occupational pension provider requesting proof of her existence.
Obviously, she is not in a position to be able to sign the form herself so I contacted them to explain the situation. They have stated that unless they receive the form back signed by a Power Of Attorney or Court Of Protection form (neither of which we have), that they will be stopping her pension payments.
Does anyone have any experience of this? It just seems completely immoral that they can stop her pension payments like this when she worked all her life for it.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
