Hi
I have submitted an application for Disability Allowance on behalf of my son and he has now received a letter from Social Welfare including the "Agent form"
The first few pages are straightforward and appear to relate to collecting the payment (should he be awarded it) by an agent
However Part 6 is a Medical practitioner cert that should be completed if person is unable to manage financial affairs.
My son will never want to deal with social welfare directly and will be happy for me to deal with that, however I don't want to take ownership of all his financial affairs. Should we get this filled in or not? Will it help if I need to contact SW on his behalf?
