My son is 25. I opened his bank account when he was a baby and have been his DWP appointee since 2004 and always had full access to his account. Recently his branch closed and since then I have had real problems accessing his statements etc for the DWP reviews etc. The bank suggested I open a new account with my name and his on it. Problem is we've recently moved house and the bank won't now accept his appointee form even though the DWP say it is still an official document. I've looked into getting him a driving licence/passport but he doesn't have enough ID. He has no post with his name on (he still lives with us and doesn't pay any bills). He goes to a paid placement 3 days a week so hasn't got a "job" so no wage slips etc. Anyone else had/having this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
