Petition Give grandparents the same funding as foster parents whether they work or not

Payment for grandparents who have grandchildren fulltime.

More details

Me and my husband work but can only get child benefit for 2 grandchildren who live with us fulltime so if they need clothes or shoes or anything else and it is more than £34 we have to pay for it. I think there should be some sort of payment like foster parents get because grandparents are doing the same job.
