I have a friend who lived with his mother .I used to go and help out in any way I could .When she died he was lost so I started doing the odd meal which over the years turned into every meal. I have loved this man and he now has a progressive Illness. I applied for him to have s parking bay at his home .I filled in all the forms it took hours , It was initially turned down and it said it helped if you were in receipt of any kind of help ,I told him to apply for attendance allowance which he did and got it . During another enquiry of my own I was advised to apply for carers allowance . While I have never wanted paying it is becoming expensive TV on all day heating on as he’s always cold . I told him I had been advised to apply to which he said I don’t think you are the right person to do my care .REALLY . Anyway I let it go. Thinking about it I think he wants his daughter to get the allowance even though she never does anything for him .Doesn't even visit . The following day we were going out and he spoke to me so disrespectfully it was like the last straw. I know I’m just being used but I haven't seen him for over a week and I miss him .In fact my heart is broken even though I know he’s controlled me for so long ,what are your thoughts on this .
