It baffles my mind that people earning over £2k are able to get Govt help - yet a relative of mine who can’t work (blind in one eye and last lost the use of her left leg) can’t get any more than JSA which is pennies, and is barely about to feed herself.Indigo_and_Violet said:@guysl80 - bear in mind you won't be eligible for UC if you have more than £16,000 in savings, so it might be that you're not eligible until after you've paid the house deposit.
@GentleGiant01 - it'll depend on whether you work as well and whether you have kids. There are plenty free online calculators for you to find out if you're eligible.
PIP, UC with the extra entitlement (unless she has over £16k in savings, 2nd home etc), it's worth her doing a benefit check on entitled to.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
