Considering the hoops you have to jump through and the endless lengthy phone calls with assessors who don’t listen, then having to endure the indignity of mandatory reconsideration, all compounded by a system more interested in tick boxing; doesn’t this government think we have already had enough anxiety and stress?

Hello @Catherine21
If someone regularly withdraws large amounts of cash they may ask what it is being spent on, in case you are saving it up and not declaring the savings. As long as you do not have over the savings limit, it is not a concern of the DWP what you spend your money on.

what about £200 once a week?

I am unable to give financial advice about whose account it should be in, but given that it is close to the £6,000 savings limit I would say it's important to get proper advice. If you have more than £200 in your own account as savings or capital your total savings and capital is over £6,000 and should be reported.
