Which begs the question whether he actually needs a credit card? Which he doesn't, but the OP refuses to grasp that point. I wonder why her son is not asking? Perhaps this is a case of 'mummy trying to sort out everything without bothering to actually ask her son'?
As has been said, maybe he doesn't need one now, but at a later date when his parents are not around he may do. Perhaps it is a case of mummy sorting it out, is that a crime? perhaps his disability is such that he needs that help, perhaps she is over protective, who knows.
Noneof that has any bearing on the merits of the case.0 -
His award will be in trust to shield it from means tested benefits that may be required in the future, which is why it is inacessible to the son.
Yeah, I have massive inheritance coming but my parents don't want to write it down ina promise as they are trying to find a way for me to pay as little tax as possible...
Basicaly I can't get a credit against that either and I am fully able.0 -
Why? He is still on benefits. He still doesn't meet the criteria.
If you really don't see it , after all these explanations then there is not much more I can say
Doesn't this strike you as being unfair? Taxpayers are funding this person's lifestyle despite this person having enough money to pay for it themselves. It doesn't seem very fair to me at all.
Right or wrong, inheritances and awards are legally shielded from affecting means tested benefits every day of the week by specialist trust lawyers.0 -

Why would he need one then? He apparently has more money than them? Questions have been posed and answers not given.
The merits of the case depend very much on the facts of the case, and considering the OP doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of them, how can anyone else?;)0 -

Oh really? Where? Perhaps you could point us all to where the OP has answered the various questions posed in regards to why her son actually needs a credit card? She doesn't seem to be able to pick a reason without changing her mind and then not answering why she has changed her mind. Not that I'm accusing her of lying of course.:eek: Perish the thought!0
