    i sent approx 75000 pounds back from vietnam to UK around 9 years ago, straight into my uk bank where it stayed , i flew home few months later and was still to my amazement getting my benefit

    What benefit did you get while you are out of the country for a few months?

    DLA is not means tested so the money would not affect that.

    You can claim DLA for 13 weeks when abroad.

    Of course, that assumes you told the benefit office you had gone abroad.
