JeanneA Report post Posted March 21, 2012 I have just recently been advised by Adult Social Services to apply for Deputyship under the Court of Protection regarding my son Glen who is approaching 18. This means that if I'm appointed I will be legally responsible for Glen who lacks capacity to make decisons for himself. Has anyone else been through this procedure and if so how long did it all take? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie C Report post Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Social services are appointed to look after my finances with my mum not around no more. My social worker had to write a letter to adult financial services outlining why I needed a appointee, eg. Overhall it took a couple of months to process.... I get £70 on a Monday and £70 on a Thursday paid into my bank account which works well for me....... The biggest problem came from the benefits side of things, they still havent got around to paying my DLA into my appointee account because of some mess up.....
