Little worried about something (income support related)

I've been awarded Carer's Allowance this week (I look after my elderly mother at home), and so today decided to phone up to apply for the income support top-up I'm entitled to. I have an appointment at the jobcentre on Monday, which I have to take all my documents to.
Only thing is, when I was on the phone I forgot to mention the fixed account I have at the RBS, I mentioned the 3 others I have (which are under £16,000 worth) but once I realised this after the phonecall have decided to take the documents for this one to the jobcentre as well (which I should anyway). Am a little bit worried that the advisor I see will penalise me for having forgotten to mention the fixed account when I phoned up. Will that one little mistake affect my claim at all? I hope not

No not at all. Everyone forgets something during the phone call. When you sign the document declaring your financial situation in the jobcentre that's when it becomes questionable but right now you have nothing at all to worry about.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
Well that's a relief, phew!
(And thanks)
