Universal credit LCWRA savings

My brother receives Universal credit and the extra amount for LCWRA.
Does the £6000 savings limit still apply or can this be higher as he's disabled.

    The limit is the same.
  • Thanks.
    So I think as he has savings he might have been better to claim PIP which my son gets for the same disability.

          He can claim both. It's not one or the other.

        For a UC claim the savings threshold is £16k
