Appointee

JBS2022

Due to my husband's mental health I want to be an appointee (he agrees), but he wants to carry on being paid his benefits into his account ( I have no issue with this). Due to his inability to communicate well with the DWP, I want to be an appointee purely for speaking and attending assessments. Is it possible for him to carry on recieving his own benefits? Or will I have to take over his money. I have no idea how this works.

If someone is mentally incapable or severely disabled then you can be their appointee. Usually this means their money is paid into your bank. There’s no harm in asking if the money can continue to be paid into your partners bank.

You will need to ring the department of the benefits he’s claiming.

I pretty much control his bank account anyway so changing the payments to me is pointless ( although it isn't official). I will ring them on Monday. Thanks.
