Money Carer, an award-winning national social enterprise, has recently released a guide for families considering becoming welfare benefit appointees for their vulnerable relatives. The guide, produced by Money Carer in partnership with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), aims to provide information and practical tips for those taking on this important role.
As the largest and most established provider of welfare benefit appointeeships in the UK, Money Carer works closely with local authorities, law firms, care providers, family members, and disability charities to provide a range of money management services for vulnerable adults. Their services include appointeeships, deputyships, and bank account management.
The new guide covers all aspects of being an appointee, from the application process to setting up a separate bank account for the appointee. It also offers practical advice on important tasks that appointees should remember to do while in the role.
For those with further questions about appointeeship, Money Carer’s website offers a comprehensive Q&A section. Additionally, their recently launched money management podcast serves as a helpful resource for learning more about managing finances for vulnerable adults.
Money Carer’s commitment to supporting vulnerable adults and their families has earned them recognition and numerous awards. As a trusted partner of the DWP, they continue to provide valuable resources and services to those in need.
