It means you aren’t capable of making good decisions for yourself,

So they are taking control of what little you did have control over.

Probably shouldn’t have threatened to eat all your pills or run away.

This has been going on 10 years, they’re stealing my money. The other day it wasn’t about stealing my tablets or running away… Nothing has changed since then - But they are out to get me.

What you need to do is to improve to the point you can be trusted to make good decisions.

It might take a little time, but that’s what you need to do for yourself anyway

You told us you threatened to take all your benzos,

Then ran away and a police report was filed.

It was definitely about that.

that stupid clinical psychologist wrote I’m at my top level at capacity and that I havent got capacity.

No I had to kick off so they’ll listen

Yeah, they did listen.

Now you’re in an even worse position.

You didn’t have to do what you did.

It shows that you don’t have control, so now they are taking control.

they’ve said I lack capacity way before the other day.

2.3.5 Conclusion

My opinion is that Billy is unable to understand and use and weigh information related to financial matters and therefore does not have capacity to manage his own finances.

To my mind, having the appointee in place is a preventative strategy for Billy’s mental health. It reduces the stresses he might experience should he become subject to unmanageable debt and helps him keep his spending on alcohol within a reasonable limit.

Billy’s press for this assessment seems to be less about his actual financial situation and is more related, to some extent to a need for control, but also for security. He is clearly uncomfortable with the idea of living with a stranger who demonstrates what he considers to be dangerous and unpleasant behaviours. I would urge colleagues in social care and at Eden to consider how Billy could be given assurances and / or make a contingency plan.

At this point I will be discharging Billy from Clinical Psychology

I don’t think you can manage, even I am getting a secretary with all the paperwork and Im a professional. I am appointing this secretary in case I finish up like you so no one can touch my money except this person who is a close friend of mine. Just forget it or try changing the person managing your affairs.

The phrase “does not have the capacity to manage his own finances” just means you’re not able to do it. You don’t have the means necessary to do the things that need to be done. So they’re appointing someone else to help you stay out of debt.

If you think you could live independently, you should find a human rights attorney.
