Actually, it is NOT useless, because it clearly shows the intention of the "donor". I used my copy of mum's LPA, awaiting finalisation, on a number of occasions, especially when dealing with the medical profession. Crikey. An unregistered LPA should not have been accepted - direct contravention of ...

Hi Not sure if I've followed properly, but regarding the LPA, copies are only valid after the LPA has been registered and returned to you.

My brother bought my dad one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Geemarc-AMPLIPOWER-Button-Corded-Telephone-White/dp/B002HWRKZ2/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Geemark+AmpliPOWER&qid=1569685806&s=electronics&sr=1-3 He was ...

Hi Faye

Do you have a good MP? I don't know if it would be worth a letter to them.

Hi Hannah.

Things sound rough. As folks have already suggested, Mind may be able to offer you support as a carer. Have you been to see your GP? There might be support they can direct you to. Hope things improve for you.
