Calculating annual interest for tax return

As I moved the Nationwide money in May 2024 I now have two sets of interest for the same amount of investment! The second set of interest in the new account is from May 2024 until April 2025. Whereas the Nationwide interest, paid in October - only 1 month's worth of it was from April 2024 to 2025 - so effectively I'd be declaring double interest! Which obviously I don't want to do. All I can think is that I ask Nationwide for a tax certificate from April 2024 to April 2025.0

Ok I get the picture. I only earned the interest in October even though most of that was earned in the previous tax year!Sorry if that sounded confusing.The money was in the Nationwide until May 2024In May 2024 it was moved to a different savings account - the interest for that was paid in April 2025 for 11 months.But in October 2024, the Nationwide paid interest for the previous year, even though nothing had been accumulating since May.So it's just shucks then as it puts me just over the household earnings limit for the funding.To the person who asked why you need funding if you have capital - it's a specific scenario. Accumulating interest on capital is not the same as a pittance of an income! But is still classed as earned household income.0

Whereas if only the one month of that Nationwide interest calculated from the previous year was counted, I would be within the limit for the funding.I suppose I could try and explain that. It's funding for a teenager. Without it, it will cost us another £1000 a year!0
