A letter from whom ? And asking what about you exactly ?
As Clapton says, gifts are tax free.

However, many benefits are regarded as taxable income, so you will cetainly not be 'left alone' if you started claiming benefits......

Do you not want to work and take responsibility for yourself then.

I find it hard to believe that you can actually survive on £80 a week even if you do live rent free to be honest.
ie food, utilites, insurance, etc. etc.
