    my expeience on raising money is if your show enough bank statements to support your income claims, the banks will support you. Enough may be 24 months worth (I had that not so long a ago). And no I wouldn't claim the income from Gambling as others have said, that wouldn't go down v well.

    So in other words you submitted a fraudulent application, not the best advice to give to others is it?

    Oh, no, the f word again.

    manray said "And no I wouldn't claim the income from Gambling as others have said, that wouldn't go down v well"

    So as I read that, he actually would omit the income from gambling from his application. So is it now fraud to claim that your income is less than it is by not declaring money from gambling?

    Even if he actually meant "no I wouldn't claim that the income is from Gambling", you still have some work to do to establish that it is fraud - eg if on the application form the source is not actually declared or declared as 'other'
