    Funny old bean, I thought you weren't responding anymore? Looks like you still need your lie down? I hope you feel better later!

    Correction I decided earlier not to respond to you, have made an exception to put you in your place here. If you look back you will see I have been responding to all the other posters on this site who hate you and dont respect you or your rude views.

    I dont need a lie down and I feel fine thanks. I notice you feel much better too after admitting to all your faults. See bottom of last page lovey :p

    The DWP share information with the Revenue, and can find out how many bank accounts a person has, although not the balances, at this point.

    They can detect through this data sharing with HMRC how many bank accounts are held by an individual, because all interest, by law, has to be declared by banks to HMRC.

    If for example a person claims means-tested benefits, and fails to declare a bank account or the correct amount of capital contained in a bank account, it can be detected through the GMS.

    If as a result fraud is suspected, authorised fraud officers can access individual bank accounts without the need to seek prior permission from the claimant.

    Banks than have to provide the information required.

    The best idea is to always declare ALL accounts - if the thresholds aren't reached, it won't matter to entitlement anyway.
