Was at the worst meeting today. Found out hospital social worker has taken over hubby. Now told they are going to court to get guardenship and financil over him. So why did i get the welfare. financil etc POA They said they will over take mine. I have no trust with the Social Services due to them not helping, the way they have treated us and the financil department getting things wrong. Why now do they want to do this? I have went from being assesed as only needing and getting 10hrs a week care in to this. Also i quizzed at the start of the year about my husbands medication and said it wasn't controlling the jerks. Then he took a seizure still the same drug then he got worse after the seizure and that was noted. Still same drug he took another 2 seizures i quizzed again. Still same drug. Another 2 seizures they changed the drug. Bare in mind he deterioates after the seizures. I do not trust handing his welfare over to them. This has happened as they say he needs 24hr care which i was doing before as got no help. I have been told that 24hr care at home is not available yet i no so of you are getting it. I asked if its a post code lottery! I also enquired about NHS continuing care and was told Scotland is different than England there is none of that here. I want to find out about that as i thought the NHS was national.
If they take over him they can put him anywhere i will not have a say. They will also be in charge of the money what life will i have.
I have been in touch with a solicitor and was told that there is not a lot i can do but to complain to Social Services and she gave me the address and also told me to give them up to 20days to deal with it and then they will step in.
If i had known this was going to happen we would have left his pension and not taken it.
The government encourages you to take out pension etc. Is this so they can get your money if you get ill.
Sorry for the rant but i'm in tears writting this i amm so so worried.
