I still have reservations about those who post assumptions that if the financial activity took place ahead of a claim that they are somehow absolved from any repercussions. I know that many claimants have to submit 3 months worth of bank statements with their benefit claims but I still don't believe this means that the DWP discount all activity from 3 months and 1 day before...

I can state that the DWP will ask for financial information going back for more than the 3 months if they need them, I know someone claiming an income based benefit who sold a house and went into a rented property, they put in the claim once all the money had gone and they had to provide bank statements and details of where the money had gone - over two years of statements were eventually sent in and trawled through.
