Health & Welfare LPA Question

Posts: 3 Newbie
Thoughts please on our Health LPA dilemma.
My mum and I applied for both the Health and Property LPAs recently to cover each other. It's an archaic system being paper based, relying on mail delays and a bit fiddly. Although we double checked them before we posted them off, it seems one of our witnesses forgot to put their full name and address on one section of the Health ones, which has meant they can't be processed. They are saying we have to reprint (we don't have a printer) and resubmit for 50% of the costs. This is a lot of money for us, and I know it's our mistake but wondering if it's worth paying more money to print and resubmit, or just leave now? Note - apparently the property ones are being processed. Thanks

Presumably you want the LPA in place, otherwise why bother in the first place?DebCol said:

In which case, resubmitting at reduced cost is your only option.0 -
Did you check if either of you were entitled to a price reduction due to low income?
