Find answers to your legal question.





My brother is paranoid `cos I put £200 in his bank for present says income support can look in bank ??

Can income support just look into his bank account without asking and if they can does it matter that his brother has given him cash for a birthday present ?

The short answer to that is no they can't.The data protection act would debar them from doing so.

No he's allowed £3,000 in his account,
They don't just look into your account,
It's all b*llshit,
Think about it, it's data protection,
Tell him to enjoy his money,
Ignore the idiots that say tell him to get a job,
They don't know his situation and are oblivious to anyone else.

dont worry this is too small an amount for them to worry about and he can prove you put it in so no worries it needs to be about £3,000 before they get involved


taxed till i die,
No they need permission.

They cant look into his bank but they can ask him to provide statements for any dates they require, if he fails to provide - this will prove he has something to hide and they can stop his benefit and believe me they can .

Nobody can look into your bank account.
The police even need a written statement from you to look

As long as he doesn't have thousands, it really doesn't matter whether they look or not, and I don't think they can anyway.

The DWP, police and any other authority has the rights to enter any-ones bank account without your permission. And for Seadog saying why don't he get a job, there may be reasons why he is on the dole. Disability, Redundancy, etc. Think about the reasons why he is claiming income support before shouting off your mouth.

They will notify you if they want to check your accounts, & only ask for the latest statements.

i dont know the rules in the UK but generally your allowed
a small savings account of a few hundred or so....

you probably should have just handed it to him or
sent him a money order he could just cash...

he will be ok , it not a great deal so they wont dock him..nice sister or brother..

Unfortunately civil servants from all departments now have the "right" to snoop into every aspect of your private life, including your bank account. But tell him not to worry, if he has less than £3000 in his account its OK. If they hassle him about it (unlikely) then its just a present from his brother.

They wont look in anybodies account,They will ask you if you have any savings only if they are suspicious would they ask to look in your account.
But you are in breach of income support if you do not tell them you have come into some money a present or not.
Have you seen the advert no ifs or buts ??/

They only check accounts if they are investigating fraud.


Atheists Rule
Tell him his shirking days are over and he best stop claiming and get a real job like the rest of us.
