I have a question I hope someone can answer. If my husband withdrew £5000 from his pension pot (that is under our savings limit for benefits) would it affect out benefits?

    Hi,
    If you're claiming means tested benefits, providing your total savings are less than £6,000 then no, it doesn't affect them.
