I have claimed UC, I have a shares ISA my dad set up, im paying a chunk of my mortgage off in the a few months but the UC will help with my childcare costs. I cant lay the mortgage right now because im locked into it until Nov. Will UC find out automatically, I have been told they its highly unlikely and im not talking 100s of thousands either.....but i cant go back to work without childcare support, feel like im in a sticky point, but ive worked since I was 15 always paid into the system, got crap mat pay both times and had to go to work early so I almost think stuff it I dont really care :/

I think the main issue here would be not declaring it and then being pulled for a fraudulent claim. Maybe see if you could call citizen's advice to get some advice about it. You could always then see if you could hide your number so you can gather all of the information on how it would work and go from there
