if its under 6k then your fine iirc, also if you dont tell them about that account they cant find out

[super jumbe]

Most banks are now connected with the Govt benefit offices how much money you are talking aboutmate?

You'd be surprised how much the Government agencies share our information so it's your shout.

dont know bout tax office but if you are only claiming contributions benefit ie jsa or esa any amount of savings doesnt matter for the first 26 weeks.

i m not 100% sure but i think they can find out
if its a lot put it in another acount in a mates name (get a good mate to open an acount that requires a passbook an signuture (leeds building society does this) then you keep the book (you cant withdraw with out it )

If I were you I would buy few premium bonds worth 1 millions pounds and if you win few more millions you can donate to dk.
