I have been told by the gp I must register as an unpaid carer. Can I be compelled to do this?

I don't believe she was trying to be helpful, as she told me I needed the permission of the court of protection.

I would be suspicious as she's talking nonsense about the COP. But I am registered as DH's carer as it means they will deal with me about prescriptions, appointments etc. As we have to fund care ourselves, no-one will be making me step in but that could happen if you're looking for funded care.

I dont think it was an extreme reaction. I phoned for an appointment for my child and the next thing the receptionist is saying they have to get the court of protection involved.
