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.
