Does he claim attendance allowance?
and does you mum claim carers allowance?
Yes, he should be in receipt of AA and this will help towards costs.
I don't think Mum can claim CA if she is retired.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

When we first had carers my husband was allowed to keep more, not much more, of his money which was above the government guidelines.
Ironically the council sent out questionnaires with two choices. Choice A was keep to the status quo. Choice B was to charge as per guidelines. The letter that accompanied the questionnaire said the council's preferred option was B. Needless to say our charge went up.0
