Hope someone can offer some explanation why this would be these case.
My father went into a nursing home recently, my mother is dead. He transferred the house into my name 10 years ago. My brother organised the Fair Deal scheme without talking to me about it and we are not on speaking terms.
The home costs approximately 1,200 per week and his contribution has been assessed as 850 per week, he simply doesn't have this income, his income would be about 500 per week in total.
My brother is now hassling me to pay some of this 850 a week as the nursing home is sending bills, there are arrears of nearly 10,000 at the moment.
From reading about the fair deal scheme I just can't understand how this can be the case, I though the HSE paid any shortfall and relatives are not expected to pay?
