| Annotation | This guide is for people in Scotland with early stage dementia, and for people helping or caring for someone with dementia at any stage of the illness. It covers the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, which makes major changes to the law in Scotland relating to those who are mentally incapacitated. The guide explains the new and old system with regard to help with: financial and welfare matters; welfare benefits; community care; and long-term care. However, differences in legal provision between Scotland and the rest of the UK should be borne in mind. (RH). |
