Are you allowed to give small amounts of money, ie £50, to a friend for a gift if you are on Universal Credit. Also, when Universal Credit assessors examine bank statements, do they ask what you are spending your money on and why? Ie why you do two food shops a week sometimes, what you are buying from Amazon, even if the purchases are small? Sometimes I book a community travel car for a friend who cannot do this and pay the £5 booking fee myself. Will these things be questioned when bank statements are examined?
