The more fundamental question is where is the £50 cash each week coming from? As this is a regular occurrence, why are you not able to receive that money in a different way that avoids cash (and the need to constantly be going to the bank)?

We (humans) seem very good at doing something in a particular way, and when the situation changes we automatically look for a way of continuing in that same particular way. Often it's better to take a step back and look for a better way.

Exactly the concern the bank will have.
If it is son paying board, then surely that can be done by other means. If it is due to someone getting paid cash in hand, then the staff will be reporting this higher up.
Bet they ask when the letter is handed in. just what is the source of the cash deposit.

Hi, Just a quick update that it's all sorted out now. Went in to the bank yesterday with my son together with a letter of authorisation and spoke with the manager. They have accepted it and my son can continue paying in on my behalf until further notice. Thanks again for all your replies.
