Should I be truthful about my savings?

Dear @hughie1 , I am physically disabled and struggle to walk. With all due respect, I strongly urge you to move the money into a safe account and declare everything you have with the utmost honesty. The money is rightfully yours; however, please also bear in mind that many people, including myself, are deeply concerned about the government’s current fraud prevention measures.
Through no fault of my own, I have two rightfully claimed overpayments due to DWP errors (still under debate). When I recently spoke to a DWP decision-maker and reviewed my bank transactions, I was shocked when she told me she could see everything, so I didn’t even need to go through it myself. As many have pointed out, the DWP has full oversight of all savings. Therefore, the more honest you are with the £4000.00, the better it will be.You’ve got nothing to lose.
We might be disabled, but we do NOT,under ANY circumstances lie.
Best wishes 🤝3 -
Hi @hughie1
It always best to be upfront and honest about your savings.

"...when she told me she could see everything."
What do you mean, please?

Hi @hughie1 ,
I meant she said she could see my bank accounts. That’s why I was shocked 😳. So there’s no hiding

I'm not sure if that is correct. Can anyone confirm? They are only now trying to push a law to snoop into bank accounts, so doesn't make sense they can see into it now.

I am not sure whether she was able to see or not or whether she used it as a tactic but that’s what happened in my case.
Anyways my friend, being honest and truthful in this scenario would strongly be the moral and ethical choice for me… however your decision is yours!! I don't lie…. Best wishes
