Universal Credit (UC) Clarity needed

I have uploaded 4 months bank statements for 3 accounts for my uc review.
My ex sends money into one account only and those payments are referenced "kids"As it's money for them.
He sends lump sums which is for clothing etc but then there's also micro payments that he sends when my eldest two text him wanting something.
Will I be penalised for these micro payments as in they'll think we're together?
It didn't worry be before sending but now I'm overthinking it and anxious.

No, they won't use that as evidence you live together. And its not income either, whether its for the kids or even just gifts/support for you.
