Is there a savings related cap on it? Someone I know receives her old age pension, lives in a council flat and has her rent paid for her but has around £75,000 in savings. I would have thought that makes her ineligible.

Mrs JtH (works for the DWP) has just told me that your acquaintance ought to be receiving *nothing* from the public purse. She also confirms that banks and DWP talk to one another and, in all likelihood you acquaintance will be asked to account for her neglecting to have been candid about the amount of her savings....
