You need to answer this question.Do your parents have an Assessed Income Period on their PC? If so for how long?

You and your parents need to remember that the benefit they get comes from taxes people are paying in, money they have earned but are giving to support people who are not able to support themselves.
When remembering the above, do you think it is fair that tax payers should give money they earned, money that mean they can't use for themselves to go to people who do have money to support themselves but want to gift to someone else?
Benefits are only in place to help people whem they can't help themselves. Being on benefits is not a default position that some people 'win' and get to live off whatever their circumstances.

To be fair, the OP was pretty much asking how to commit fraud.
How can my parents gift money without their benefits being stopped?
Sounds clear cut question to me,0 -

Probably worth pointing out that you can’t really expect to be supported when you’ve received a large wodge, though.“What means that trump?” Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare0
