Benefits Confusion
10 Answers
One of my friends has had to give up her job due to medical reasons, and even though her and her husband have savings ( money left to her when her mum died) and her husband works full time, she still feels bad not contributing to the household. Would she be entitled to claim any kind of benefits?? I’ve looked online for her but it’s not very clear. I know it depends on how much in savings, and certain things aren’t counted as assets but does anyone here have a bit more knowledge on this area?? TIA.
