My mum is 88 and has been in a care home for the past year.
- she has dementia. I became her DWP appointee 6 months ago. I received some mail from her previous address which revealed that she has a small private pension (around £20 per week) which is paid into an account I nor anyone else was aware of. She has been receiving pension credit which she is entitled to - she has never owned a home or had any significant capital, but obviously would be entitled to a lower amount had she declared her private pension.
As I am now her appointee I am obliged to tell DWP of this account. I am really worried about what will happen now and would really appreciate any advice.
