Well done for working through the wall of endless admin @mikeydt1

The one that caught me out was insurance policies in my wife’s name, but for joint items (eg the car). I didn’t realise that these immediately cancelled on her death, and then had to hurriedly arrange cover after a few days ‘without’. Thankfully we don‘t drive the car much!
 
i did say that some where there was going to be a **** up and yep this morning paid for a rose and urn then next total outstanding over £3000 beg your pardon but the policy is fully paid. turned out there was a computer glitch thank heavens.

did telephone again and things are okay now but i was spot on with a **** up happening not something you want first thing Monday morning. think my partner was having a good one on me just to keep the ticker going a bit.

on with the joint tenancy they are going to work a way how to go about things with us been in tier 4 as they need a certificate at some point. been told tenancy will go in to my full sole name. at least the niggly stuff is one area that i can sort of deal with as i have had plenty of practice.

keeps the mind active which is what i need. not a shocker though.
 
Just a few more {{{Hugs}}} from me.
 
well trophy and mike have come to a grinding halt as i am now waiting for the death certificate takes around 7 days to receive it. without that can't do banking, will or tenancy.

at least it will give me a bit of time to get on with household chores. lady who is helping commented on how clean the place is. all ways been part of my nature to do stuff like that. might be old but it does sparkle

once i do get the document then time for the hammer, spanner and screw driver to that dam printer. sure it has a handle to crank it up 🙄

thanks for that Lilian esp about joint tenants as that is what it is and i was really worried about it so will put my mind at ease a bit. the other part, legal team are just providing advice on different issues and how to go about stuff.

once i get the death certificate i will order some online as the bank needs one for definite.

when you apply for the death certificate you ask then that they give you say five more copies.
 
A lot of people think they have to go with the solicitors who wrote the Will. This is not so, unless it is actually written in the Will.
 
Major problem. hospital before xmas told me partner x had acquired hospital covid which resulted in death. there was even a test and trace showing the date of testing.

rolls on yesterday i get a letter from hospital safety manager trying to claim that partner X on admission to hospital had covid.

problem if this is correct then protocols have been breached as i never once got a phone call or letter asking me to isolate or even asking for anyone who had been in contact.

not sure what the step is but the implications are massive.

what gets me is why now send it after partner X had been in hospital nearly 5 weeks ago. i showed the lady who is helping me and she is really fuming for what the hospital are trying to do.
 
I am afraid that the behaviour of some of these people is a bit beyond belief - this sort of nonsense is the last thing you need.

I am more a believer in "**** up" rather than conspiracy and would put it down to ill thought out procedures at the hospital rather than an attempt at some sort of cover up. Nevertheless, I think I would reply by saying that what they have said is quite different to what you were told when Tee was found to have contracted COVID and ask for an explanation of why you have been given contradictory information and what action you are expected to take.
 
tried to get through doc but no answer but we will keep trying as the problem is the letter is contradicting what the ward said had happened. but if it was correct then why wasn't i or no one else even informed? the risks of spreading would of been very real.

well the paper work has now started so will be on with that today keep my mind occupied downside is that i am still stuck without the certificates and the nits didn't tell me that i had to request copies thought that they sent one out then others by request. was annoyed as i have wasted nearly a week waiting. 5 to 15 days around here just to get them!
 
They've never ever posted them to my knowledge - same as when you are born, get married etc - ALWAYS had to do it personally, with proof that you were actually you.

eg I couldn't put the Banns up at the registrars saying that you and Kaylz or everydayupsanddowns and Ditto - or indeed Ditto and Kaylz or you and Northerner - are getting married (just thinking of who I knew on here who wasn't currently formally joined to anyone else ! 🙂 )
 
well i achieved another goal at last my own dads side family pulled together as i selected a charity to donate and quite a few have donated it is a mental health charity, i suffer with bouts of depression and so did my partner. just shows what a bit of playing hell can do.

what is still playing on me is that dam letter from the hospital why they have done that is beyond me, have left a messaged so can see some trouble coming up. basically they are in breach of protocols if they do try and stick to what they are claiming.
 
You don't need this added stress. :(
 
what gets me ditto is that it took the hospital nearly 5 weeks to inform me that my partner had possibly covid on admission where the hell was their moral and legal duty to inform anyone concerned of the potential risks, there was no nothing.

they waited until death registered, body released and then have the nerve to then own up on the day of the sodding funeral. talk about stinks to high heavens.

Mikeydt - I appreciate how very upsetting all of this is for you. Your frustration and anger is palpable. You do need clarification, but it could be best to wait until you have the opportunity to talk to someone before jumping to too many conclusions.

I'm sort of wondering if the letter might not be their best effort, and created based on some sort of template; in this case, maybe the wrong template?

I know letters are "checked" before being approved and signed off, but the harsh reality is sometimes we - that is the person writing the letter (more often than not the material facts dictated into a voice recorder for transcription) can read what we said or thought, rather than what is actually written down. Sadly, in these circumstances there can be knock-on consequences.

I'm not suggesting for an instant you are making a fuss about nothing, because either way, something has gone awry, and the harsh fact is it means a lot to you and others.

Hopefully, you'll have clarity soon.
 
well the paperwork is arriving fast, done one the other day and did another but some others i will need to telephone about.

wonder why they all ways send demands or whatever on a weekend? they do that with benefits if they are going to stop them, had that experience myself.
 
managed to get quite a few jobs done today a good bit of cleaning and washing. just things to push myself along. all ways been one for cleaning as i used to work in a large hospital years ago.
 
Any chance you could send me a bit of your cleaning mojo? - mine hibernated so long ago (although in the past I'd give a deep sigh and just attack it for hours) it can't find a way back out.
 
sending a bit of mojo your way Jenny keep a look out for it through the air 😎
 
got through some more paper work today but one form the lady helping took nearly 1 and half hours just to get to the right people then it turns they are coming to see me, eh. don't you just love been passed from person to person esp on a Monday.

morning i have a phone call, engineering coming and more vacuuming think i could do with someone sending me a bit of mojo please.
 
well got my jobs done. sad to see the telecare system go but then again it was only used once as i was all ways here.

as i suffer with dizziness the person told me to contact social services to see if i can get one put in and now that i am on my own.

anyone welcome to send a bit of mojo my way at this time of morning i start to drain a bit.

still not got the dam death certificates must be really busy, have requested and paid for them so a phone call will be made if they are not sent soon as it has been quite a while now.
