Savings Cap for couples & buying a house

With the new forced migrations to UC from tax credits, I do wonder how the gov expect parents that want to buy a house are able to. A lot of working parents just get say child care help, they are unable to buy houses for 60k.
The savings cap for a single person is only 6k, but a couple is the same. 6k for a couple that work is less than 3 months wages, think the gov need to relook at this

Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

The cap is over £16k, there is a deduction between £6k & £16k. What the Gov should do is outside the remit of this forum as it's against the rules.

No doubt this thread will be closed the same as all of them that are against forum rules.1
