uncle has gran at his home. I hold EPA (N.Ireland) although he lives in England. I gave her £200 cash to spend using previous visits as an estimation.
He’s now asking me to send a further £700 for clothes, hairdressing, flights etc.
I’ve asked for receipts prior to sending any money but should gran be paying his flights as well as her own? 6 in total as he flies here to collect, both back to England, both back here then he returns home. The reason I ask is other son lives in France and often visits at his own expense.
If it makes any difference she is in receipt of state pension plus attendance allowance. £900 is roughly her monthly income. He currently takes her 4-6 times per year, this is first time since EPA activated so I need to set a precedent. Thanks in advance for any advice, I’m so stressed out!!
