PSW maintenance funds - power of attorney

Hello,

I am hoping you can help me with a query regarding the nature of an account to be used for maintenance funds.

The account is in the name of the applicants parent, with the applicant not named. However the applicant has power of attorney on the account and the funds belong to the applicant, this can be proved with a record of the transaction from the applicants original account.

My question is, with the evidence of the original transfer, and the power of attorney, will the ECO consider this to be a valid source of maintenance funds for a Tier 1 PSW visa?

The reason i ask is because clarification was sought on this point 2 months ago, and the answer from the embassy suggested that even a sponsors account could be used. However it now seems that this will not be possible. Had this original query been answered more clearly the funds could have been transferred two months ago, thereby reducing the period before a valid application could be made to just 1 month from now. However now it seems that the unclear answer is leading to a further three month delay on being able to apply.

The origianl intent to apply two months ago was delayed because a letter confirming the university status was delayed in the mail by 2 months has required repeated sendings to arrive. Very frustrating.

Any advice is very welcome.

Thank you.
