My Step Dad has MS plus several other health issues, with carers twice a day at a cost of £800 a month, my Mum cares for him the rest of the time. He only has the partial use of his left arm. They have applied for continuing healthcare weeks ago and have heard nothing. Who can they chase about it? My Mum has come to the end of being able to care for him, as she has health issues and cannot, at aged 64, provide 24 hours a day care for him. Something has to change ASAP eg: him to go into a home, but they can't afford the £800 a week this would cost.
