    another rule i think needs to be addressed is the Household savings limit of £6000 before penalties arise which applies to a single person or a family which came in at £6000 in 2006 and has not increased since, 20 years ago. this reg needs to be looked at and partly based on the amount of adults living at home.
    Capital (savings) rules do not include other members of the household. They are based on you and your partners capital. If you live with others, what they have is nothing to do with any of your benefits.
