I will start at the begining as otherwise you will get confused, I have two sisters (one of them is Misdee) and a brother. On monday I had a lady from The Family Fund, which is a charity that help disabled kids, come and assess DS and DD1, my other sister was here. Anyway I had asked for money for a holiday and that was all. The lady from FF then asked me what else I needed (I had a confused look on my face then!!) she put down a tumble dryer(as mine is on its last legs, and I have recently replaced my washing machine, dishwasher, cooker, and the door on my tumble dryer is broken, but I couldn't afford to replace it) some soft garden surfacing, clothing and bedding, and a few computer games for DS. Anyway, I was shocked by this and kept saying "I only asked for a holiday!"
ITs been taken away to be processed now anyway, and my Darling Sister has been talking to Misdee, and saying how unfair it is, and I am getting a new tumble dryer, and how noone gives her anything, and that I have lots of money, we are on Benifits, I have about £20,000 a year (£11,000 of that is CTC) and I only get that amount because I HAVE two disabled kids. That money is for 5 of us. NOw Darling sister's hubby is on about £26,000, she earns about £8,000 part time and she has one kid, with no disabilities.
I live in a council house, she had to buy, that also is hugely unfair in her eyes.
She is really begining to annoy me, as there is no need for this, If I could, I would gladly give up my "freebies" from charities, give up my money and go back to work, if I could make my kids "normal" but I can't. I have to do so much for them, and with DH being off work with his knee, I just want things back to normal, with him at work, and us not claimimg benifits.
Should I confront me lovely sister, who thinks the world owes her something "I can't claim WTC as we are on too much and I only get £10 p/w CTC, its so unfair, and we have a mortage to pay, they don't take that into account when you claim WTC and CTC!!!!"
BTW she is only 21
