Bank statements

I've finally got all my statements sent off to DWP 5 years worth which is quite alot lol but nearly sorted it's only because DWP wanted to check what savings I had which is none now but in 2018 I got quite a large amount of money backdated and this is were it's got confusing but as I said before the man who is dealing with it has been really nice and patient with me which helps ☺️

5 years worth is a lot. Hopefully you can relax now. 😊

That is really good.  Must be a relief that it's been backdated.

It's because I recieved backdated money and still had some left which was classed as having too much saved but thankfully it's sorted now 🙂

han233

Apparently the money I'm on I can't have no more than 6ooo saved

han233

If you're on Universal Credit, you can have up to £16,000 saved.

However, they need to be informed of any savings between £6000 and £16,000. There is a deduction in payments for savings in that range.

Im not on universal credit yet

Same rules apply to all Income Related benefits. Council Tax reduction maybe different because some Local Authorities have a maximum savings limit of £6,000 before entitlement ends. Single person discount is not affected by savings.
