On Your Behalf: Passports, Pensions & Care Homes

29/01/2022

Passports, Pensions & Care Homes

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Passports, Pensions & Care Homes

Tricky passport renewals, pension under payments and end of life care. 

What happens when your name is wrong on new passport and, how a new platform developed at QUB is improving end of life care for people in care homes. 

Jemma and Lolly got in touch as they were having trouble renewing their passports. Jemma got a new passport, but her name was spelled incorrectly and she didn’t know what to do. Lolly had been struggling for months to renew her British passport, and at one point thought she’d lose her Irish passport in the process. 
Are you one of the 134,000 pensioners who missed out on their full state pension? The error has been branded a shameful shambles by a committee of MPs. Baroness Altmann, former pensions minister, explains what you can do if you think you’re affected. 
A new online resource has been developed to help carers make informed decisions around end of life care. We hear what difference it’ll make from Professor Brazil from Queen’s University, Belfast and Christine Redall whose daughter Anna was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 37.
