Not declaring tax refund to UC

stupidaspie · 2020-08-12 18:25:44

My mum got one last month and I've just seen the back page of the letter, saying you should declare it to UC, and she hasn't. She's been awarded LCW and the refund was far less than the LCW Allowance rate, so does that mean she won't be sanctioned for not telling them if they find out?

Should I use the date on the letter or the date funds reached her account?

..by which I meant the funds, not the letter.

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
