    Capital is not normally taken account when calculating your tax credits. However, as it is over £300 you should declare it as you will be getting income from those savings, which will be taken into account when calculating your award.
    You only need to declare the income from the money, not the capital itself, it's not 'income', it's capital. If the money is invested in ISAs, then the income is not counted for tax credits.

    HTH and best of luck for the future for your family.
