Benefits review for disabled lady? was created by saz
Hello - I wonder if someone can help pls?
I took over as the Deputy for my severely disabled non verbal relative lately. Her funds are running down quite low and I feel that I need to speak to someone about a review to make sure she is getting the correct benefits. She is 61yo and lives in a Care Home. The LA take a huge swipe of her benefits to pay towards her upkeep so she has very little left to spend on all her other needs. It means I am starting to try and subsidise her existence myself and I am also on bens. So something feels not right with this picture? Where do I go to get a review pls? She is regarded as severely disabled and all her care needs have to be met by those who look after her. Thnx

Hi Saz
I'm afraid your question is outside the scope of this forum. You need some specialist benefits advisor who can look at all the benefits you and your relative could be entitled to. Try the link below to find services in your area
