Bank account query

When my daughter first applied for esa she was having trouble getting a bank account as she didn't have any id.
When I asked the dwp what to do they said I could pay it into my own account as long as my daughter was happy with that.
Since then she's managed to open an account but we've never got round to changing her payment details as neither of us like contacting the dwp.
Is it ok for her payments to keep going into my account for the forseeable future? I just transfer the money as soon as it hits my account. Or should we get it moved over?
