When you care for 4grandkids,and your husband is on disability benefits,a fostering allowance is essential.it is not a question of doing it for the money,we used thousands of pounds over the years,of what should have been saved for our retirement,caring for our daughters kids.
She preferred using drugs,and inviting unsuitable violent men into her life.we just heard that a friend who has been INA similar situation,received a cash sum of £600 ,from the same local authority that has let us use up all our savings,as our daughter was keeping all the kids benefits,and we were left with nothing.our friend had used up her£2.500 savings,caring for her 2 grandkids,when her daughter and partner were using drugs,and spending kids benefits on such.we were passed for residency for all 4kids in February.then at the hearing,which our daughter contested,,she asked the judge,via her solicitor,to get psychologist assessment done on me,as she said. I had something wrong with me,judge agreed.then said that our daughter should have one done too.

On the other hand,she told me she had diagnosed our daughter with two personality disorders.!oppositional defiance disorder,and antisocial personality disorder.our daughter posted it all over the international internet,that I had been diagnosed with a dangerous personality disorder.with various insulting and derogatory swearwords,directed at both me and her sister,who had travelled 150 miles to support me and my husband in court.thae psychologist seemed to believe all the lies our daughter told,saying she had a miserable childhood,etc.that is a lie,as all her sisters have testified in letters to the judge,which she refused to read.another 2 hearings in october,final one is at the end of october.we do not know what willh
