Generally, yes. Information concerning income or resources YOU regularly receive, is information that is a part of YOUR budget, and is required to be disclosed, by YOU, by your caseworker. It is then verified in writing, by the third party (your sister) making the contribution.
The representation does not obligate a continuation of the "voluntary" contributions against the will of the third party, provided the third party is not otherwise obligated to the applicant. Which means, third party can demonstrate that the resource/s is his or her own, through gainful employment; and not resources acquired from the applicant. Good luck,
