The redundancy will be £3800 and my savings is only £500 so under any caps. Thank you.
A bit shocking really that the bloke on the phone didn't know after he put me on hold.
Not at all. They are call centre staff, not benefits advisors. They should be the last people to ask for advice from.
Oh ok. I was told in my identity check appointment for UC that the helpline would help with any queries I had so I assumed they could advise on stuff like this. I hadn't realised they had not been trained in this area. Cheers.

I would start with an internet search rather than asking the UC call-handlers. Your local advice charity can be a useful source of information, and offer a potential check on the veracity of poorly trained DWP staff statements.
