Hi all
I received a call today from a social worker regarding my brother’s care. I am his sole carer; he lives in his own home; is 38; has a care package paid for by LA.
The social worker, enquired about doing an assessment to determine whether the NHS should fund my brothers care because “it’s a big package” and her “manager told me to do this”.
I asked her to put into writing, and to copy said manager into mail - I informed her that I would have my solicitor and social worker friend look at it before I agree to anything.
Is this something to worry about? I have such bad experience with them, I feel like I have to be very vigilant and firm to make sure they don’t try any of the bullshit they have attempted on the past.
Any thoughts and considerations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
