Hi All,
Have been looking into our mum having a respite holiday. We have been caring for her for 4 years now and need a holiday break .
She has less than £14.000 in her bank, that's all she has. I know she will be entitles to £109 a week, for the allotted 4 weeks respite allowance for a carer to have a break. We will need another two weeks as we are off to Sydney to stay with our family. She will have to be assessed by our local council to work out how much she will have to pay towards care cost. Any information would certainly help me, as its a mine field. We have never had to go down this road in her care. I have a CPN, to help me. I am ok on the caring side, but I don't like having to deal with money matters really
