well, i think they’ve got there own care plans now, as mine would be outdated (seizure charts etc). Thanks, and will mention care plan when i take it to the home on Friday when we go to see him.

It will be their care plans you would need to send and not your own.

Hi @Tonypiano777, sounds like you have a lot of forms on the go! I would advise getting his post up to date care plan to send in and make the nursing home aware of the form.

Thank @Chloe_Scope ☝️
Yes, the nursing home aren’t that “form-friendly” so don’t want them to have it forever.the care plan (current) has to be at the nursing home now, as he’s highly dependent on them - and not me, and whatever i put on the form, may have changed (his medication for example - as he’s now on epilepsy ”rescue remedy” to make sure he comes out of a seizure). So ill show them the form on Friday when we visit him, and hope they oblige and play ⚽️ with me! after all, its the ESA thats paying for the nursing home - plus other benefits.

I hope so @Tonypiano777! If you could ring up before your visit and ask for a copy of his care plan, this would be great evidence to have. Fingers crossed and please let us know how it goes!

Hello ,
Sorry didn’t reply to post @Username_removed as no mail alerts (for some reason).
Anyways, the nursing home have filled the form in and sent it back to me this morning. They’ve done what Ive asked them to do, and that is; fill the sections in that i can’t (oxygen times/seizure charts/medication sheets and so forth) ive had a look over it and looks ok. Hope it goes on ok. Thank you.0 -

Hello all.
I hope you are keeping well in these challenging times.
Just to let you know that the PIP form for my brother went fine. And I am now on pip myself, but after a mandatory reconsideration, I had to remain on the lower rate. Quite disappointed really, as 10 points for “getting out” - which I can’t - should really be 12 points. Maybe they have their thoughts and ways, or that it was best for them, to keep me off the higher rate (that thoughts been reoccurring).
Thanks for all the help you’ve e given my. Much appreciated.0
