working tax credits

Does having savings interfere with getting them ?

There are no limits but why apply if you have loads of money in the bank?

why not mighty. I have savings ive worked hard for but got made redundant, doesnt mean i wont be claiming job seekers. And i know loads of people that have never worked claimed benefits, and have savings in other peoples names

You can't claim JSA if you have more than £12000 savings and there's are reductions below that.
You have to claim JSA to keep up NI contributions after redundancy.
I'm not denying your right to claim benefits if you've paid tax.
I suggest you report the ones you know have hidden savings though,that's why the country is in a mess.
