    Hi,

    A compliance meeting is usually just to check something like savings or living arrangements.

    Have they asked you to provide any bank statements? Or have there been any changes in your circumstances recently?

    Ok. This is a problem unfortunately. If your Dad is saving more than £6000 for you then that can be seen as Deprivation of Capital. That is £6000 in total, not £6000 for each transaction.

    You will just have to be honest about the reason you are sending him money, as you have told us. But if he now has a large amount that belongs to you then they might decide to make deductions from your future UC payments. You will just have to wait and see what they decide after the compliance interview.
