Hi All,
A friend has asked if I know anything about when the local council comes to do a financial assessment on her dad. They have not been to see them for over 5 year's now, so the housing benefit has just continued to be paid. They had a letter to say they are coming to do a well over due check up. My friend seem's to be very worried that in 2012 their dad gave them £6000 for her and husband to go and see their Son and family in Oz. It had been given because she had suffered a second brain aneurysm and a bleed in 2011. It was given as a gift as she had suffered a terrible time. She is now so concerned that the council could see this as some kind of deprivation of her dad's assets, but he wanted her to have it.
I don't know how to advice her on this one. Any help would be helpful Thanks
