I have a very complicated Centrelink benefits question:

Many years ago, I married a widow who had an 18-year-old daughter. After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a  number of times, and he fell in love with my step-daughter. My father eventually married her.

As a result, my step-daughter legally became my step-mother and my father my son-in-law.

My father’s wife (also my step-daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband  of my step-daughter’s mother.

This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father. And, as you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the  mother of my father’s wife.

Therefore, it appears that I am also my wife’s grandchild.

A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father’s brother-in-law, the step-son of my father’s  wife, and my uncle.

My son is also my step-mother’s brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my  own grandfather.

In light of  the above mentioned, I would like to know the following:

Does my son,  who is also my uncle, my father’s son-in-law, and my step-mother’s brother fulfill the requirements for receiving childcare benefits?

Sincerely yours, 

Mohamed.
