Telus is Demanding "declaration of incapacity" in order to cancel my Mother's Account

[wireless]

My Mother is very ill and delirious. I've been cancelling various accounts and gave notice on her apartment. Shaw internet was so simple to cancel, no questions asked. But Telus asked for the Power of Attorney form, which I provided. But now that's not enough. They also want me to make an appointment with her doctor, in another town (I ride the bus and have mobility issues), to get a "declaration of incapacity" from her doctor. Her outstanding balance is just over $32. I've been a great customer with them for many years and pay close to $300/month for their services. Never a bill overdue. Yet they won't take the POA as enough proof? Why do they have a right to know her private information like this? Shaw and other services didn't require this kind of proof, so why does Telus? This is already such a difficult time, and they are making it unnecessarily hard.
