When claiming pension credit the savings limit is £10,000. For every £500 or part thereof over that amount there's a £1/week deduction. For savings of £28,000 this would be a deduction of £36/week. You must report the changes. If there's an overpayment then yes you will need to repay it. There may also be a small fine on top for not reporting the changes.If your savings mean there's no entitlement to pension credit then this could also affect any housing benefit and/or council tax reduction you maybe claiming.0
