Hi @mikekewell, welcome back to the community 😊
I believe the rate is the same for both individuals and couples, so for savings of £6000 and above you need to report your savings and will have your benefits reduced depending on how much you have saved. Anything above £16000 and you'll usually no longer be eligible for the means tested benefits.
