Claiming back cost of residential care before deadine of 31st September - help please?

I would also make sure that you have all the relivant documents and health information you require at hand so that your claim if taken on by Age Uk can be processed straight away so that the deadline on the date is not over run,are you in a position to rent out the apartment so you get at least some income back from it.?

Yes, CAB by all means, but equally, or even better, AgeUK (used to be Age Concern) who are usually spot on in matters of residential care. It all hinges on whether your mother was receiving nursing care (paid for by NHS) or personal care and there is a huge grey area. Best to get a face-to-face appointment rather than rely on advice on forums.

Agree, Elegran !

Chrisseward Small point - this is not an Age Concern forum. Are you copying your post to other forums to get more opinions? Changing that reference would have been a good idea. The same applies to your other thread on the same subject.

I would say your Citizens Advice Bureau would be a good place to go for help. This sounds quite a complicated problem.
