Press and Journal – A dementia sufferer from Fraserburgh has lost a court appeal seeking full access to her income. The 37-year-old woman, named only as YW in a ruling by a sheriff, was hoping to overturn a decision by the Scottish Public Guardian which transferred control of her funds to Aberdeenshire Council.
