Recently the decision was made for mum to go into a care home due to her complex needs. My brother, sister and myself knew that was the right decision for mum and, hopefully, we wouldn't have too much running around to do for her, just visit and enjoy her company.....how wrong we were.
We do visit and enjoy seeing mum, but the latest problem that's arisen is that mum has been receiving DLA, middle rates for care, lower rate mobility, now the local authority have said this needs to be re-assessed and my sister has been told that once a person reaches the age of 65 mobility isn't re-assessed and care may be re-assessed if mum needs care through the night (she does) so just wondering if this is correct, and advice in this will be gratefully received, many thanks x
