Chunks said:Thanks again all. My issue is not that i can’t simply give away the benefit eg. to charity but rather what the official guidance/criteria is/are and can any sense be made of it. You can’t say on the one hand two tests must be met and then simply ignore them when the automatic payment is made, thereby riding roughshod over your own rules. Even the guidance (which I was already aware of and have reread a few times) uses catch all language in section 3 rendering the guidance as clear as mud. Seems to me that the practical and pragmatic steps needed to get the benefit out to those who are in desperate need of it will throw up anomalies (eg.my household). It is what it is.
