Possibly, but impractical to offer anything more concrete with so little to go on - has he checked to see if he has a CIFAS marker signifying some sort of fraud?

Were the accounts closed with or without advance notice being given?

i was thinking it might be that think it might just closed without noticed but cant see how they can link a benefit payment and think its fraud my step daughter had a date but it didn't say why

Have you asked the bank why the accounts have been closed, is it the same bank?

Banks don't like : personal accounts used for business  (ebay ?? / vintage ??) ;   crypto;  receiving money for someone else and getting £'s for it;  

Any of these apply ?

dont know if my stepson did but not the step daughter trouble is hes asked my son to use his account to put his benefits payments in as in from the benefit office im worried that it might get his bank account closed as well

Until you know more about why your stepson's account was closed your son should absolutely not become financially linked with him in any way, as harsh as that may seem.
