Help for my Dad

well believe it or not nothing still has changed Simon said to me over 6 weeks ago now that the new contract was finished and was going to post it that day 6 weeks later no letter no idea if or when the package will start or if it will at all or even if it will start any time this year ive emailed my local mp again to tell him of this atrocious way my dad is being treated in the mean time he has had an infection of the leg and now a cold has crept in so im keeping an eye on him but hes a tough old bugger so so far so good my thinking is that social services is hoping my dad will pass away before the give any help what so ever

just in for some unkown reason the assessment team has resent the original assessment package paperwork even though my dad has turned this down and we agreed to go for a lighter albeit not what id have liked but only affordable package so no idea whats going on now have been 7 in a Que for at least 3 days trying to get into contact with Simon to find out what the hell is going on

to add to the last statement when the financial assessment took place there eyes lights up to find that my dad was getting the higher DLA of 83.10 per week as soon as they saw that they wanted it stating that was what it was for unfortunately for them my dad had bought most of the equipment to help with his disability himself so they had to leave him the 3 pounds 10 but they'll want that next year im sure I have been in contact with my Local MP thanks to all the people that emailed him and put our case im awaiting a response and ill post it here when i get it

well after the finacial assessment the cost was wittled to a massive £80.57p per week there was no way my dad or me could afford that amount of money so I think the figures for what old people have to pay has to be reassessed we had to turn down the package which we need to a package in which we can get some help but the onas was dad has to pay the lot with no assistance from cornwall council at all so 39.99 a week it is but still no idea when or if the package of help will start what a county what a country

well id first of all like to thank all the people that signed my petition i know its a small one but it has had some effect my dad has been assed at last admittedly almost 4 weeks after the fact that i phoned up asking for help but as i was told it would take 8 weeks that was a start now 3 weeks later the finacal assesment has just taken place again why should our old people have to pay for assistance in there golden years but its done so the package should be starting soon fingers crossed please keep an eye out for this type of petition its about time social care was sorted by any government in this country and not have different sets of rules and regulations and payment determined by our parent hard work to save for a pension

as of today I am still not further forward the district nurses have been the only contact and it looks like the the bed might might be on its way however i received information from social services via another route saying that if Mr bowers IE is having difficulties coping looking after his father and his father was in receipt of disability living allowance we could sort out our own care privately what a joke dont you think if we could have afforded to sort out our own care privately we would have must admit that all the sympathy that i have received of friends and family has been greatly appreciated but the same words come out oh that,s the way the system works and what a country we are living in no matter how much we put into society follow the rules save for a pension buy your own house etc it all goes against you when your time comes to get old and infirm and you are still expected to pay for services that should have already been payed for .

Id appreciate anyone emailing george eustice to get him to help my dad all his details are here
my face book page with the photos of what my dad is like today is here please please share and help the aged should not suffer because they are old and a supposed burden to society they are not if anything they have contributed so much to this society that we should be looking after them with a great deal more compassion and respect
