DofC rule

someone elsewhere asked me a question and i wasnt sure how to answer,maybe someone here could advise.

If someone was to take out a new loan(a 2nd mortgage)in oder to pay off 2 existing loans would this be counted as D OF C (deprivation of capital),there would be a few days(less than a week)that would overlap,eg they receive a cheque for £7000 one day then send a cheque out the same day which would clear 4 days later from their account.
so basically can they pay off a loan even though they dont have to using a new loan,and would they be allowed to exceed the £6k saving limit for just a few days?

hope thats clear?

  • I'd be interested to hear who was giving them a large consolidation loan when they have too little income to service their own needs.

    tbh i have no idea,it was a question raised on an epilepsy forum,i usually try and help with benefit issues but this one stumped me.
    I`m hoping to be able to pass on some sort of answer and not a lecture in finance.
  • just bumping this up in case anyone can help tomorrow
