Having funding withdrawal on my Dad's care it's so upsetting, both myself and my mum are really anxious about the process and what will happen. This tick box system is so daft. The social worker in the meeting didn't even take notice of what was being said and asked if "we can please speed up each section, as I have another meeting".... We are at a loss right now as to what to do.
I am so sorry to hear about your experience. If you need any advice or support, please do contact the dementia specialist Admiral Nurses on our Helpline by calling 0800 888 6678 or emailing helpline@dementiauk.org - Laura
The assessors for my relative did not have a proper understanding of mental health, were not qualified in that field and particularly did not understand the elements and risks of paranoid schizophrenia, which was what most of the CHC application was about. There was also some mild dementia present. The assessment was little more than a shambles and I know this because I had spent more than 200 hours familiarising myself with every aspect of the CHC process and with the illness itself. But the assessors rode roughshod over the National Framework, denying me, as the representative the chance to make legal and other representations about vital aspects of the procedure so as to get to the result they themselves wanted. I strongly advise anyone who is not legally qualified ,as I am, to employ the services of specialist solicitors if they can afford it. With 40 years legal experience, even I failed to make headway.
