To be clear, does your dad live in the UK? If so he can refer himself for a needs assessment. See link.

I don't know if you can do it on his behalf from over there because it may detect you're not in the UK.

If he doesn't live in the UK then unfortunately I can't advise because it's probably different over with you.
