If a person is eligible for contribution based JSA which is not means tested would they then be eligible for council tax benefit regardless of the amount of savings they have ?

Thank you.

    Cobntributions-based JSA or ESA doesn't give access to any means-tested benefits including (in England) free prescriptions).
