I have enclosed a document summarising our monthly essential expenses and proof that my son and daughter-in-law cover 96% of those by transferring funds (£400 / month) on monthly basis. See enclosed budget document. As you can see our monthly income is circa £600 consisting of £400 money transfer from my son and daughter-in-law; and £200 contribution from my youngest son who earns through photography projects and most of his income is used to cover his own expenses. Total amount of our -- does not provide state pension if your lifetime employment was not in government institution. Therefore, I have to rely on my son and daughter-in-law to pay for essential needs.
