    Unfortunately, your cousin's experience is irrelevant to this matter.


    We all know mistakes can be made but the advice the mother in this case would have been given, if she asked, is that such a scenario is impossible, and that is the reason she 'knows' the children are not on the ex-partner's claim.


    That surely is fairly simple.



    Are you being purposely rude....or is it a sickness?

    Neither nor. Don't know what was rude about any comments I have made and I would apologise if you have taken it that way.


    Surely you can see that it's not the reality of the situation that is important in this respect; whether in fact the children are present on two different claims is immaterial. What is important and relevant is merely what the mother has been told.


    If she has been advised that having the same children on two different claims is an impossibility, then surely she 'knows' that no one else can be making a claim for them, as she already has them on her claim.
