Question re weekly money received when getting pension

newbie1956

I get the non contributry state pension and my husband gets the contributry pension. we have a daughter who lives with us and she gets disability allowance and gives me €80 a week to help run the house. This money is paid from her bank account to mine. I recetly got a letter from Social Welfare asking if there were any changes in my circumstaces and if so to let them know. I think this is just a run of the mill letter. But would the €80 weekly from my daughter be taken into account when assessing means?

They will ask you to explain the weekly deposits to your account.

Thanks. Id have no problem explaining where the money is coming from obviously but it was the amount I was worried about and also if i needed to respond to the letter from SW.

Alternstively could she eg pay for fuel or groceries directly?
