The DWP are investigating my mum’s estate in particular now they are concentrating on the Pension Credit aspect in the last year of her life where she was living in the care home.
I believe that she was still entitled to receiving her Pension Credit but I’m concerned that her savings were over the £10k threshold but that there isn’t any upper limit only that they use a value of a £1 for every £500 you are over if I have read that correctly.
They also wanted to know the value of her bungalow in 2003. I have looked at houses sold in her street but I cannot find an equivalent value house. I’m not sure why they are asking this but in any case her estate was well under the Inheritance Tax threshold.
Can anyone throw any light on this please?
