My 99 year old mum needs to enter a nursing home after breaking her hip. She jointly owns the family home with me(son). She has no other assets. Because I don’t consent to selling the property as it is my primary residence, the asset is deemed unrealisable and my mother could apply for financial hardship assistance from centrelink. I am also not likely to be granted protected person status even though I have been her carer for over 10 years.
Has anyone been in this situation before and can offer tips on how best to apply for financial hardship?
