Thanks William. The ‘loss’ I am anticipating is from my father’s estate (so as you say, not my money from my personal purse at present, but my inheritance, which is key to my well-being and future.) I am seeking advice from a probate accountant next week to get a ‘rough idea’ of my father’s estates ...

Thanks BB, I wish it was that simple. (Hiring a solicitor.) I have asked a few for a quote and it is £12,000 and more if the co-Trustee decides to argue about things. (She is the one who will be responsible for tying up her late mother's estate once my father has passed and the property is then vaca...

(NB My father has not passed yet, but I am worried about discussing this with him as he thought things were 'good' between him and his partner. It will be difficult for me not to discuss the following with him as he constantly worries that I will 'be ok' when he passes. I do not want to lie to him....

Admin, hope this is ok to post this here, please advise or remove if not... For anyone who doesn't know how hard it is to be a lowly paid live in carer to family.. see the responses on this link. (But I am guessing anyone on this page knows all about this!) I still don't get what Healthwatch are sup...

Bernadette, my father was going to be discharged under End of Life in November (after the cut off date), I also was told he would have SIX WEEKS paid for care (he is over the £23,000 savings limit.) But I had to fight for even three!! (I got it extended to four in the end, then we had to go private....

Thank you Pet.. will read and absorb. Yes Penny - exactly!! Sadly I think since my return (as the dutiful daughter!) Said cleaner has had their nose put out of joint and is making it hard for me.. and my father TBH. I think it is all a case of what are his needs.. over his wants (As BB succinctly pu...

Umm BB, the GP has had to deal with her on/off over the past 5 years in my absence.. he also said the practice manager is 'well aware of her.' I keep erring to the good side of things, that she has tried to get the best for my father, but yes, it does all sound a bit strange to an outsider! The plot...

Thanks BB and Pet, She has said WE are her bubble... I.e she insists that her workplace is not a bubble.. (I am going to check on this.) I know she has a brother and other siblings, but I think she has only met them outside, when we were NOT in lockdown. She now tells me (today) that she no longer h...

I have 3 x different official, registered, insured professional carers coming in twice a day for my elderly (vulnerable) father. They all use full PPE and no arguments around health and safety! (Plus a district nurse daily, who of course follows full safety protocol!) There is however, a ‘hanger on/...

Thanks BB that is on my list.. for later on. (She is not declaring the money my father gives her for her 'services.') She has not shown me her DBS, self-employed status or carers insurance. Because.. she is not a carer! Just someone who promoted themselves in my fathers time of need... She has 'anot...
