Short term memory loss

Hi been along weekend CARL58 short memory is getting worse had to read the 5 page ESA letter over and over couldn't recall me telling him last week was hardest explaining you have 1mth from date of letter for a mandatory reconsideration if you don't agree with the decision I told him theres no need for that by the letter youve been awarded the full amount plus support group it gets frustrating for me to at time's but I have to keep calm take a deep breath for his sake he wants me to become his advocate as thing's are getting very difficult for him I believe he has to be assessed for that to happen everything assessments I understand why because of fraud etc but try explaining that to CARL58 makes him even more confused than he already is I asked him again this morning about Brexit same reply had that for breakfast he was serious asked him who is our priminister Tony Blair didn't push after that seems to be living in past recalls the past very well but years are missing have requested to gp to get him a cognitive test sorted to see what's actually going on jen
