Hi
I will soon be in receipt of two smallish occupational pensions.
I am in the process of this. There will be a lump sum of money under 16,000 around 12,000 in total
I will still be entitled to some benefits
Can I pay my daughter cash when she goes shopping for me to pay for her petrol and any other expenses
I’m not sure what I’m allowed to spend money on. As I don’t want to break the deprivation rules it’s not my intention

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Unique1

It is your money, you can spend it on what you want. For any large items I would keep the receipts, just in case DWP do raise a query.

Thanks Gary.
Helpful.
Was a bit worried about drawing cash to give my daughter petroleum money /expenses as there won’t be receipts but it wouldn’t be particularly large amounts and not extremely regular ..
