No, we have had no contact with a social worker

The Social Worker in charge or her case should be aware of these benefits , has she not spoken to you ?

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope someone here will be able to advise you.

Hi I'm new to the forum and desperate for advise.
My mother in law had a severe stroke and is unable to return to her home.
She is being discharged to a care home tomorrow.
She has a local authority bungalow and is on housing benifit and pension credit.
She didn't give anyone power of attorney and now can't talk.
We have heard nothing about next steps.
Can anyone tell me who I need to contact to sort these things out?
Thanks
