Son has lost ESA due to string of errors from residential home

  • I am appointee for my disabled son. It's a very easy process. I had to sign a form saying that I wished to be his appointee, and give a brief explanation why. A few weeks later, a lady from the DWP came to our house. She chatted with me about my reasons for believing my son couldn't manage his own money, met my son, and reminded me of the responsibilities of handling another person's money. I signed a form and that was it. It took less than twenty minutes.

    oh it is so much easier when you are an official appointee
    I am for my son - and it takes ALL the worry out of dealing with the admin everything comes addressed to ME concerning HIM and I deal with it
    no worry for anyone else and peace of mind for me
    hope you get this sorted
