What happens to debts if a person goes into a care home for the elderly with alzheimers and the local authority claim the pension to pay for the care home leaving no money to pay the debts?

If a person's pension is claimed by the local authority to pay for care home costs, any remaining debts may go unpaid. In this situation, it is important to communicate with the creditors about the individual's circumstances and seek advice on how to manage the debts effectively. Any joint debts could potentially fall on the other party, depending on the specific arrangements.
