[QUOTE="banjo, post: 5959506, member: 17702"] hello there and I hope this is in the correct thread, anyway I have a close relative ( my father ) that's passed away who was very ill from the early 2000s. The person had no savings and was broke so the nurses asked the social to go and try and help him out. A chap from social servises came to his house and was very helpful but was horrified at how he was living ( he'd had an infected leg and heart attack due to a blood clot and was living on his own ) they sorted out extra money for him and all was sorted. Move on to 2018 and he's passed away after a long time ill. Now the pension lot are after ( me ) to payback overpaid ( pension benifit ) from 2003 because he had more than £5000 savings in the bank at his death. ( the reason for this was a relative died and left him just over £10.000 and also while ill he could not pick up his pension so left it build up in his bank account ) I paid for most of his other expenses. He had no idea that there was a £5000 limit on savings No one ever contacted him again regarding it until 2016 and was when a social services lady called by after he had a long stint in hospital. he was asked about paying for his home care and he happily paid for it himself out of his savings every month for two years until passing away at home. Here's some questions I'd like help on: 1 how far back can they go ( is it just 7 years like the vat man ) or right back to 2003? 2 should they have been doing yearly financial assessments 3 do they have to show proof that they told him of the limit ( I know for sure they didn't tell him ) 4 what is the limit of savings a person can have 5 what can I do about it to fight them and what are my rights. I hope everyone doesn't mind me asking about this because I'm genuinely worried about the situation and not sure how to proceed, cheers banjo [/QUOTE]
