If you continue not working, then when your capital falls below £16k you can claim housing benefit (local housing allowance if you are renting privately) and council tax benefit. Your household income is too high for you to get pension credit.
Do either of you have any disability or health problem causing serious mobility problems or care needs? If so, it would be worth thinking about claiming disability living allowance.
Finally, If you're having difficulty managing, you might want to have a look at the old style money saving board, which is full of good advice and tips on frugal living.
Thanks for your help.
My money will fall below £16,000 at some point but doing all I can not to get there before my state pension kicks in.
I have suffered with M.E. for many years but trying to get any health benefits for that has proven nearly impossible for fellow sufferers. Even those hit far worse than me.
I will relook at the other board you suggest and thanks again for your input.0
