    The Gran gave up her job to care for the child. We don't know what she sacrificed for that.


    That is not relevant.

    She simply has to demonstrate that every week she provides 35 hours at least of care.

    How many times on these forums do you see the 17/18 year old son/daughter, who has left school, no job, in no training and having no further education become a carer in order to access the benefit system?

    How many times do we hear of a husband & wife who are both unemployed claim carers allowance for each other in order to claim Income Support instead JSA?

    Maybe, but I am also a member of CAG (2 years) Yourable (9 months)!!!!

    And if you will read my post carefully instead of jumping in and saying something stupid -

    "How many times on these forums do you see the 17/18 year old son/daughter"

    meaning plural - this site is just one forum.

    Gee some people.

    Yes Andy with as many user names on both those sites too

    And how many times do we hear the same story from you?
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)

    Lets see.

    Apparently this time you are a female nurse, with elderly parents who are both disabled.

    So I presume that this time you are playing the daughter. Maybe you got fed up of playing the parents.
