the money nan gives away would only give her an extra 3 weeks a year in the home so we are hardly taking her life savings
Phil122, I can only stress again what was said earlier in the topic. What you, I, or anybody else thinks about the amount of money involved is a total irrelevance. It is entirely possible that Social Services would view gifts of that size as deprivation of capital. If it can be shown that she has been making gifts of that size for a number of years it may be possible to argue that her spending pattern hasn't changed, but I wouldn't like to bank on the outcome.0
