The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) receives numerous representations from hon. Members, organisations and members of the public about the benefits and services it provides. It is not possible to provide numbers below high-level subject matter on the number of such representations.
Grandparents who are responsible for children are able to claim the same benefits and increases as all other persons responsible for children; the exact amounts that they receive will depend upon the individual circumstances of each such case.
