Need some help/advice if possible. We currently have LPA and also we were being paid direct payments but this ended when we sold our house and moved in with mom in law. We knew that the direct payments was ending due to moving but we appealed the decision and won and was expecting a payment at the end of July. However, SS rang us to advise that they have "safeguarding" issues which include spending money refurbing the house as it was badly run down and have suspended the payments so have had no money since the end of February which has caused us numerous issues.
Ultimately, SS intend to take us to the court of protection and we have had to produce statements for the Office of Public Guardian. We seen a solicitor today but its going to cost £200 per hour and I don't think we have the money to pay to be honest.
If somebody had told me the hassle I and our family would have to endure in order to look after her mom who has Stage 5 dementia then I would have walked away rather than sell my house and also give an excellent childminding business in order to look after her mom.
Social services need shooting.
