BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Money Box Live: Dementia and Money

What are the financial considerations for people living with dementia?

It’s estimated that more than 900,000 people in the UK have dementia but that’s a number that's on the rise. 

It’s a diagnosis that raises a lot of questions, from the care that might be needed to the impact on family members, and of course there are worries about how best to manage finances as the illness progresses. 

This podcast is for everyone, but especially anyone who has concerns about how to protect their financial future if they lose the ability to manage their own affairs. It’s also for anyone who wants to know how they can best provide support for the people they love. 

To answer your questions, the experts in this podcast are, Victoria Lyons from the charity Dementia UK and Gary Rycroft a solicitor in private practice.
