WARNING! Before claiming, clear savings/debts!

It's not good moneysaving practice but sometimes I think I'd be better keeping my savings in a sock under the mattress. I can't conceal my current savings but if no-one knows about future savings I can't be penalised for them.

That's the way I'm beginning to think too filigree

I've told the DWP about all my accounts, barring a new savings account I opened recently, but then my CB is paid directly into that so they know it exists anyway. I'm nowhere near the threshold yet but it makes it a pointless task looking for accounts that yield a high interest rate and I can forget about ever hoping to have an ISA as that's my savings limit gone straight away

Zziggi,

That makes so much sense, you put it really well.
