hi I have been asked to send in 4 months bank accounts and my I’d. I live with my children and my boyfriend has his own house. We have holidays booked for this year and next and weekly he puts money in my bank account as does my mum to pay for these holidays. Will I get into trouble for this and he also puts money in for food takeaways too. Tia

    No families moving around modest sums of money to pay for things is generally fine.

    As long as you never have over £6k undeclared then you should be fine.

    Just answer any questions honestly and truthfully.

    Heya @Miapops50 and welcome to the community. 😊

    You've got nothing to worry about with general day to day transfers, loads of people do it, the DWP is mostly looking to make sure you're not putting your money in overseas accounts or anything similar. 😊

    Thank you so much. As soon as I got the message I have been a nervous wreck, feel so much better now though. Thank you
