I have been on IB and DLA for years, so I have no savings. However a relative passed away recently and I am mentioned in the will, now I am worrying that this will affect my benefits. Does anyone know what the rules are for DLA and IB regarding savings, also - when are savings considered savings? - I haven't had any spare cash for a looong time, there are things I urgently need to buy for my house and health (like new carpets, as the old ones were ruined in a flood) and I haven't been able to afford a holiday for years - I would love to go somewhere that might actually benefit my health (I have CFS). And also I have some debts to pay for loans etc from back in the day when I actually worked. Any and all help or advice on this matter is greatly appreciated, instead of looking forward to an unexpected windfall I am just constantly worrying. Perhaps someone could recommend a good financial advice source? Thanks very much.
As is always the case with these types of question, you should seeek face to face advice from a suitable advisor at your local CAB or Welfare Rights, as there may be factors that you have not mentioned on the forum that might affect your benefit payments.
