    No there is not. There are capital/savings limits for Universal Credit (UC) and you'll soon be invited to claim this as part of managed migration.

    If you have capital/savings of more than £16,000 this will be disregarded for 12 months when claiming as part of managed migration. After those 12 months if your capital is still more than £16,000 entitlement to UC will end.

    If during those 12 months your capital drops below £16,000 and then goes above it again, then entitlement will end.

    Capital/savings affect means tested benefits such as housing benefit, council tax reduction, Income Related ESA/JSA, Income Support and UC.
