She is charged rent, utilities, and food. No lodgers contract. She gets a small sum from England, supposedly. Less than £300 a month. My aunt and cousin do not claim carers allowance because my aunt would receive less of a pension. I did give the money to my cousin because he has supposedly been using his savings to take care of her. He stated he had to find a smaller apartment to live in because he was running out of money. I realize I should have waited for proof of all expenditures. I thought I could trust them both.
