Hi all, not been on here for a very long time....but I cannot find the answer to this through Google so wondered if you knowledgable people on hitched might be able to help. My beloved Grandma passed away last week and between then and now there has been some very suspicious and disturbing details regarding her will which have surfaced. Basically it looks as though other family members have persuaded her to change her will recently to massively benefit them.
We have also discovered that a family member had applied for Attendance Allowance for Gran at the higher rate - Gran does not fit the profile of this and looks like they excaggerated (sp) her problems to get her more money. She did not need more money, had fab pension and would never have willingly gone along with defrauding anyone for her gain. As far as I can tell this has been done to get more money in 'the pot' it seems.
This point aside, my real question is can I find out somehow if this same family member has been claiming for Carer's Allowance for looking after my Gran (which she didnt do)? This is just a suspision at this stage but evidence has shown that this person seems to be capable of all sorts in order to get herself more money. I am desperate to know what lengths she has gone to in order to do this.
Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated. I am nervous to do anything about inflated Attendance Allowance as this is obviously in gran's name....
The sad thing is that my head is racing with all of this rubbish when I should be mourning my Gran. Just hate the thought of someone having taken advantage of her.
Thanks in advance for any help xx
