Am I allowed to use my debit card?

I sent my form last Wednesday, BR came through Thursday Morning. Heard from OR on Friday and interview scheduled for next week. 
It’s my daughters first birthday today and grandad has put £50 in my account without mentioning it!!! Am I allowed to withdraw it? My OR lady is on holiday till next week so can’t ask her.

Thankyou

    For the sake of £50 nobody will care. Trust me. Draw it out as soon as you can.

    Or, if you are wary of this advice and want to cover your back, just send the £50 back on internet banking to him and then it just gets cancelled out.
