That's correct (£4.35/month is equivalent to £1/week).Spoonie_Turtle said:For UC the deduction is £4.35 for every £250 or part thereof over £6000, so the maximum deduction for savings between £15975.01-£15999.99 would be (£10000÷250 = 40)x£4.35 = £174 per month. I believe for legacy benefits e.g. ESA it's £1 per week for every £250 or part thereof (but I'm not overly familiar with legacy benefits so please someone correct me if I'm wrong!)Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
