Caring for my mother in Spain after her house was sold

[nickjules54]

In October last year my mother moved out to Spain to live as she was very lonely in England, i am her only child and i have lived in Spain for 12 years and my business is here.

Shortly after her move out her my partner and i had to move from our rental home into her rental flat to look after her, this has become a 24/7 committment.

My mother sold her house in April 2012 and recieved 70,000pounds after bills.

As her funds are limited we may have to move back her back to the Uk into private nuring care, as the state would take over if her funds run out which would not happen in Spain

My question is are we entitled to any of her house monies to compensate us for moving home and acting as full time carers for a number of months or will the Uk Social security expect her to have the full 70,000 less sensible living expenses
