Care home fees: Request for nhs continuing care denied & charge put on property
My dear Dad who served in WWII and worked all his life developed vascular dementia after suffering a stroke and eventually ended up in a care home.
We applied for NHS Continuing Care and was passed from pillar to post as is the case for many.
The only asset he had was the ex-council house which I helped him to buy [he had lived there for over 40 years at the time] with my mother.
We bought the house as joint tenants in 1985.
On my mother's death in 1991 we failed to inform the Land
Okay thanks for the advice

I will have to be brave and get out all the paperwork from the attic and make a fresh appeal.
I sent one in before the last deadlin
