Claiming
your benefit entitlements and finding out exactly what they are
is often a difficult task. We are currently compiling a comprehensive
guide with professional assistance based on guest speakers talks
given at Al's Cafe. As this is very extensive we will offer the
full text for download here shortly
One of the major associated
problems is the fact that Incapacity Benefit can only be claimed
initially within the first three years of a disease. Whilst in general
this presents little problem for most people, the slow onset of
Dementia means that many sufferers are in danger of exceeding the
three year period before a diagnosis is even sought. This can at
best make claiming appropriate financial support more difficult,
and at worst leave you in dire financial straights
We fully appreciate
the difficulties faced when you begin to wonder if something may
be slightly wrong with a loved one - was it just a momentary aberration,
did you imagine it etc.
You may have decided
to seek medical help, only to find the symptoms were put down to
stress - a few pills and some time may have been perscribed. Many
in the medical professions are now alert to the fact that Younger
People can develope Dementia. With no disrespect intended, this
is not always the case. Time is critical
Early clinical diagnosis
is vital to the sufferers wellbeing
It is equally vital
to their financial wellbeing
