Letter To The Benefits Section

[starone]

Dear Benefits Person,

My name is Charles Wright and I live in Camborne, I would like to present before you the following story:

Many years ago, I married a widow out of love who had an 18-year-old daughter. After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my step-daughter. My father eventually married her without my authorization.

As a result, my step-daughter legally became my step-mother and my father my son-in-law. My father's wife (also my step-daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step-daughter's wife. This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father.

As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father's wife. Therefore, it appears that I am also my wife's grandchild. A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father's brother-in-law, the step-son of my father's wife, and my uncle. My son is also my step-mother's brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my own grandfather.

In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following: Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father's son-in-law, and my step-mother's brother fulfil the requirements for receiving childcare benefits?

Sincerely yours,

Charles Wright.

Dear Mr Wright,

I am afraid it is not our policy to answer such questions. It is your responsibility to decide whether to claim benefits and we act accordingly after we get the claim.

I am sorry we cannot be more helpful.

I remain your obedient servant,

Dick Head (Senior Claimants Officer, second class, Camborne Division)
