Hmm well I suppose it depends how fussy and precise people want to be with chattels. We had no compunction about disposing of “stuff” promptly prior to any probate (or even a will or formal appointment of executors etc in the case of my sister).

We need to tread carefully on all these things as BiL is just such an unknown quantity. Good news is the solicitor appears to be very efficient and things moveing at pace.
Mrs Axe had a property valuer out at lunchtime and a possessions valuer there as we speak.
BiL appears to be taking a step back and not responding to anything which is fine for now as no decisions required. They will be in time though. However it appears we are getting towards a time when it can be settled and all contact is cut which seems to suit all parties.
There is often a grenade after periods of silence though

Despite his generally obnoxious behaviour my brother didn’t interfere with disposal of chattels. He just wanted his share of the money asap.

Has anyone on here claimed Attendance Allowance on behalf their dependents?
My dad needs assistance with certain things, such as his making sure his medication is correct, and he has a cleaner come in once a fortnight. I go with him to most of his medical consultations as he sometimes forgets some of the things he has wrong with him, and it is difficult to keep everything straight in his head for him.
He has Ischemic heart disease, angina and multiple myeloma (blood cancer) and I seem to be having to do more and more for him, but he gets no sort of help from the state apart from the remarkable job the NHS are doing to keep him alive.
The forms seem quite difficult, but any advice would be useful and appreciated, as I will be doing the form filling for him.
I'm not sure he actually gets over the threshold of care for the allowance, but I'm going to give it a go, as if they say no he'd be no worse off.

I spoke too soon sadly. Refusing to pay £50 to clean a carpet and wants to buy a new one. Yet he refused a solicitor on cost grounds. Go figure
We did get attendance allowance. It was a lot of work with lots of info and gp letters. I was amazed it was granted but it was.

Attendance Allowance is a long form but we regretted not doing it earlier as it means the carer can also apply for carers allowance.

There are people who can help you fill in AA forms, ask their GP surgery if they have someone (there are people who charge). And fill it in as they are on their worst days, not how well they're managing.

Even if it is granted you have to wait six months before they start paying AA, unless the applicant is expected to die sooner. Worth having though.
