Thank you! Sorry about your voice mix up though! Technology is brilliant when it works!

I agree with you I also have EOD and I have changed my telephone banking to voice recognition and it has made life so much easier for me

This is difficult but once one knows there is a problem it is easy to alert the bank and set up a checking system to all money movements over a certain amount That is what I have done and they have authority to contact my son if they are concerned

Indeed that sounds wise I found I could not cope with the telephone banking identification and have now got voice recognition which is a breeze

I have always found that if I go with someone and show my laminated explanatory card with photo ID I am taken to a side room and dealt with as a priority

Brilliant idea but think of the technology needed!

I have a voice identification recognition system as I forget everything else!

I have an arrangement with my bank If they see any unusual activity on it or expenditure form myself they are meant to contact my son or check first that it is a valid expenditure This has worked very well even if at times it slows things down a little

Once I used my card with a-photo and a description of my dementia problem before starting any conversation I have not had not problems with banks they have been brilliant but I certainly did before I used this It explains simply and briefly what is needed for me

I am with HMRC and they have my PofA registered for my son with them and it has worked well no problems for some years

This sounds a simple idea but that is how it needs to be We have pendants where I live and we can indeed forget to wear them. I have Alexa in alley rooms so that would be brilliant
