parent buys daughter a house.

~Chameleon~

Ahhhh the penny finally drops!! The OPs son is now 16 and presumably leaving full-time education this year therefore her benefits will reduce to single person status in September. She NEEDS her mother to move in so she can claim extra benefits and avoid going to work. Simples!!

I think the OP's point is that with all that cash in the bank from the house sale, her mother will not be entitled to housing benefit, which may or may not affect whether the OP is entitled to it.

I imagine she's right that her mother wouldn't be entitled but she would also have several thousand pounds in the bank and if the OP would stop viewing it as 'her' money (once the pesky mother has died and stopped spending it), I think she would find the matter easier.

Yep,but even so why should the elderly mother have to pay all the rent and so much?She wouldn't be the only person living there and the only person with an income.She shouldn't have to pay so everyone else can have a free roof over their head!!!! Even more so when the op would get carers allowance for caring for her!

Now it has got to this stage, when posters are calling people 'scum' I really think the thread should be closed.
