Hello, Does anybody have experience of a court of protection application process? I have downloaded and completed all of the forms except the witness statement which I still have to do (COP24). However I have hit a stumbling block with the capacity report as the LA social work assessor is saying he ...

Hi Bowlingbun, My sense is that they didn’t. I can’t understand why they thought it was OK to exclude me from every decision other than it was for their convenience or for financial reasons in terms of funding. I had a very brief email from the LA assessor which recognised that mum would benefit fro...

Thanks Pet66 I hadn’t heard of the office of guardianship so will check that out. Yes, the problem with my mum is that she can’t make complex decisions, so she can say yes or no to something but may give a different answer depending on what is offered.

Thank you Bowlingbun. I am feeling rather deflated and often emails that I send are selectively responded to, In other words, queries and questions remain unanswered and I am provided with something new, perhaps it is tactical to deflect my attention but all the way through this assessment I have be...

So I have been successful in getting the CHC Checklist decision reviewed but have today been informed that there was a meeting last week with the CPN, the CNS, the council’s assessment specialist and the nursing home manager during which my mother expressed a wish to stay at the current nursing home...

Yes thanks Bowlingbun that is a very good point. And thanks Melly too for the support.
