Income from bank interest or investments
If you get bank interest or income from investments you need to let us know. The amount you get will affect your benefit. If you don't tell us we may not pay you enough. Or we may pay you too much and you'll have to pay the debt back.
What is this?
You have to tell us about any bank interest you get or any money you get from investments.
This includes:
- interest paid by banks or other organisations/people
- dividends from shares you own.
How to tell us
You need to contact us.
