    Regardless of who you thought was being horrid, the majority of people who posted on the thread thought along the same lines. Those who have and do care for disabled children aswell as those who don't.

    I don't understand why the OP thinks the gran should get extra help with the rent? Why? The rent doesn't go up if the son is living there, does it?

    Also, if the gran is 60 why is she on JSA? Why is she not on State Pension or Pension Credit?

    This post does seem a little strange, maybe the OP has not explained herself properly.

    (ETA - just read to the end of the thread. All is revealed!)

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
