Can you explain the effect on you of the DWP knowing about this money?

easytiger2

there is no effects just i was refused esa a couple of weeks ago so i had to claim job seekers citizens advice bureau told me it was best to go to the council about changes so my housing benefit did not get stopped but the dwp had already told them so as i said i would like to be the one to inform the dwp of my buisiness

It is your responsibility to advise a change of circumstances if you are receiving means tested benefits.

HMRC do data matching every so often, but the data is sent to our fraud dept for investigation. Its best to notify all relevant departments yourself.
