If
a person is incapacitated and entitled to receive a retirement
pension or other state benefits, the Department for Work and
Pensions can choose an “appointee” to receive those
benefits on that person’s behalf.
The appointee can be
a relative, friend or someone from the caring profession
(such as the local authority social services department).
The will
be asked to produce some proof that the claimant is incapacitated,
such as a doctor’s certificate. There is no fee involved
in this service.
