The way it's worded, it sounds as if you're supposed to tell UC what your savings are every month if they change from the previous month. In reality, if everyone did that, the system woud grind to a halt. As above, only tell them if what you have in the bank would affect the amount of UC you get (ie if your capital is above £6,000).

Everyone is supposed to do this; you agreed to do so when claiming UC. If you don't, how does the DWP know how to calculate you notional income at the end of your assessment period? 

I meant, from the way it's worded, that you're supposed to tell UC what savings are each month even if savings are below £6,000. I did write at the end of what you've quoted that you have to inform the DWP if capital is above £6,000.

Given over 8 million UC claims. If everyone who is constantly reporting savings under £6K. The system would collapse.
