Let's say this is purely hypothetical.
Okay. So imagine an uncle finally counting up the cash he's been saving for about 30 years under his mattress. Housing Benefit/Dole been claimed for the past 15 years MINIMUM. Both Uncle and Aunt been some small cash in hand work. Uncle doesn't leave the house otherwise and spends nothing. Bills always been paid from dole/pension and Aunts cash in hand.
Total is about £35K.
Aunt whacks £10K in one bank account and opens another with another bank in order to put £20K in that.
It's going to be noticed, right? I'm assuming worst case scenario would be demands from tax man and repayment of benefits for... well forever?
The hypothetical aunt and uncle refuse point blank to seek any advice, not even CAB.
