My brother wants to claim carers allowance for my grandad

But does no caring!

He is on universal credit and messaged me today to ask if grandad gets any benefits so that he can put himself down as his carer!!!!

My grandad has daily carers for personal needs once a day, I do all his paperwork and doctor stuff, deal with the DWP etc with an LPA for health and welfare and finances. He has private cleaners monthly to clean his house.

All my brother does is pop up once a week to take a bit of shopping for him and have a cup of tea with him for an hour.

I feel so angry. I do all the heavy lifting, I've organised all the fucking paperwork and paid all the fees for things etc.

Is there any way I can stop him claiming to be his carer? I am so tempted to just dump everything at his door but that would be so unfair on my grandad and he wouldn't get looked after properly.
