Well i just been moaning and pushing for people to take contol of my money. Too many people are using me for it - and im slowly getting in debt.

Im essentially giving up my rights to my income. But it will stop people rinsing me for money - and me slowly getting into debt.

The old question of do i have mental capacity has cropped up - and i have argued i havent always, cos when im “helping” people its because im thinking im an angel for children.

I will probably have £50 quid a week to live off - and the new games will be out the window, but at least people wont be stealing my money.

I want it to be managed by the social services. @bobbilly will know what i mean.

My husband is my SSDI payee. If something happens to him, and my family doesn’t want to do it for me, I’ll have to hire someone and pay them to manage my money. That sucks!

Social services only manage your money for you if you lack capacity with finances. Lacking capacity doesn’t have to be all the time. You can have periods of capacity but overall you are vulnerable/psychosis etc. I had my capacity assessment done by a psychologist. I was deemed I lack capacity.

If you have an appointeeship you still have rights as its your money.

I get paid £135 a week as personal allowance. All my bills are paid by the appointee. I email my supported living manager if I need extra money and they email my appointee at social services.

I have managed to save quite alot of money having a appointee.

Perhaps this will help you greatly!! I hope you get enough allowance to treat yourself once in a while but not enough to be able to lend out.

Yeah - i hope it will. It does my self-worth in everytime i am used. I want it all off my shoulders now. I seem to attract them. Shame i have never learnt just to say “no”.

Its cos im lonely - and people take advantage of that.

Im sure it will all turn out well in the end.

When people want to lend money, I do it for the people I care about. I’ve never had a ‘stranger’ ask me for loads of money.

The result is that almost everybody in my family owns me money. I don’t care. As long as I have money to live comfortably.

I hope you get what you want, but I think either way you’ll be fine.

Another trick is to - when people ask for money - to say ‘I was just planning to ask if I could lend from you’.

I loaned my stepmom money I think it was maybe a year ago or more. I haven’t seen that money. My dad said if she doesn’t pay it back he will. That’s just not right. I don’t want his money.

If she would pay me I would use that money for Xmas gifts.
