I’m wondering how long the savings limit for means tested benefits has been £6000? I can only find figures going back to 2006, and it was £6000 then. I think it was £6000 long before that. Even £6000 at 2006 levels would be over £10000 now. In 2000 it would now be over £14000. Surely there should be an adjustment for inflation.
I totally agree - but can't see it rising anytime soon unfortunately. Maybe's it's worth starting a petition to have it increased to £10,000 - although this would cost the DWP millions more in overpayments with UC I'd imagine.
