Does that mean they will cut or stop your benefits because of the savings? I have to deal with this. living on benefits with a mortgage is a nightmare.

Hi, no it won’t
the benefits i’m on are not means tested… they are for disabled
I think anyway
i’ll check thanks

Oh really? My dla is unaffected but esa only let you have so much in savings before they cut them.

ESA not sure I’ll have to look into it
I think the savings would be offset by some of the remaining mortgage
we will have to see what happens
a lot will be spent in the move
and extras like a car and etc
i don’t know i think it will all be in my husband’s name
i willl check
yes just figured out it is £6000 max in savings
We will pay the mortgage off more
i’m sure that would be legal
also thanks for the heads up!!
