What do I do with the pension ?

[onestepat]

Hi I was my grans appointee.
On Friday she went into a care home.
A week ago social services were going to take over her finances.
She has no savings.
I rang up pension service last week and told them the situation.
Assuming no more pension would go into my account.
Her pension /pension credit and attendance allowance have gone in today.
What do I do with it ? Do I give it all to the care home?
Nobody has told me anything

I would call Age UK's helpline on 0800 678 1602, and ask them the question. They can help with money matters etc, and are open 8am to 7pm, every day

Thankyou :-)

I'd put everything in writing to them and send it recorded delivery - don't forget they are different departments so several letters might need to be sent. Make them aware the payments are still being received. Let social services know too. It takes a while for social services to sort it all out so let the money accrue and no doubt a bill will come in eventually.
