  • ....... but they will almost certainly reconcile the bank accounts during underwriting !!

    My guess - considerably higher than 50:50 that they will spot it.

    but any child benefit will be. If the child benefit isnt on the bank statements how does she expect the lender to take it into account?

    Do you not need to give over birth certificates when applying for child benefit? I don't understand how the kids could be on a child benefit letter if they are too old to qualify

  • If it doesn't show on bank accounts at all it will be spotted and (if not already requested) proof such as the annual benefit statement requested.

    Revised odds: 85:15 they get caught !
