    The last page people sign on the benefit's page clearly states this, please re-read the page. It's all about time, but there's nothing to hide.

    Which form do you mean? There are dozens of different DWP benefit forms, and hundreds of Local Authority ones. I'm not sure any form actually states they can have "access" to anyone's bank account, perhaaps you could provide a quote from the declaration page?
