Online form 3.1 question

Hi, could some-one here give me some advice on this;
3.1 Cash in Bank, Building Society or similar account ..
do I put in the one existing co-op cashminder account I'm using now. If so, don't know what amount to put as I'm contemplating clearing it out today just in case it gets frozen tomorrow. Cheers.

    I put zero. The small amount I had in there was for day to day living and bills and it was not an asset. I explained this to the OR when the account was mentioned in the quick phone call after court.

    I guess the OR won't be best pleased with this action but It's a long time before I get paid again.
