Tea?

Different rules for you. Quick check shows that.

You've applied?

No, as that's means tested I don't think I'd qualify.

I was told by the dementia nurse to apply for Attendance Allowance on behalf of Mrs B as that isn't means tested but we didn't get that either. I'll try again once the current list of new symptoms are lodged with the medics. Appointment with the GP arranged for late May and we should see the Consultant later in the summer. We can get by without the benefits but AA would be useful to save towards payment for day care or respite care in the future when I will need a break and family may not be able to assist. Respite care for a couple of weeks can cost a small fortune.

Giving the carer a break, isn't cheap over here either.

You get PIP over there?

I think so but AA hasn’t been integrated into that system yet because of the lack of a local administration.

Seperate benefit, previously known as Disability Living Allowance, now Personal Independence Payment(PIP). Two sections to it.

You are so right there. Last summer I got a copy of her Consultants report wherein he had noted "significant carer stress was observed today" - he neither said anything to me nor offered any help. The report went to the GP who didn't even notice the comment until I pointed it out. Help, that would be a fine thing!

Sorry to hear that @Blue.
I remember the lack of help I was given, no one tells you what is available. It was places like age concern that offered little bits of advice or friends.
My memories of social services were trying to get money off me for her care. I still remember the social worker and what a fat b###h she was.
