Oh dear. you don't know do you?
Grandpa Joe ran the whole scam from his bed. He was the head honcho, the Don. Everything revolved around him. For instance, how do you think he got his tobacco or that chocolate bar for Charlie (that he insist Charlie tells nobody else about)?
Charlies mother cashes the four checks and then with permission from Don Joe buys a chocolate bar for Charlie (that he must only share with Joe). The rest of the money is used for Joe's filthy smoking habit. The family must then live off sock soup.

I think grampa Joe was one of the first documented cases of sponging on the system.

Bedridden for 20 years but is up and jumping around in a matter of minutes when the ticket was found? I think Joe was just playing everyone for a fool. could've been working all that time helping provide for everyone but noooo make poor Charlie go to school and work

He had Batman help him. And in return he helped Batman sneak back into Gotham in the Dark Knight Returns.
