Best Place for £63K - Preferably Monthly Income

Hi

My elderly mother has £63,000 to invest but she would like to get a monthly income from this if possible and not touch the capital. She also would not want to take any risks.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    How elderly is elderly?

    How much is no risk? (savings accounts will have inflation risk, investments will have invesmtents risk)

    What about products with capital security in the event of death?

    What is her income and age? (would interest take her above the age allowance reduction figure or would she see a reduction in pension credit?)

    Don't see anything in there mentioning investment bond. Just typical filtering questions you would expect. Of course, you don't care about people having the right thing for them as long as you always give the same solution to everyone whether its right or wrong.
