Savings from benefits received was created by JaneDean
Hi,
This question is about anyone who may have been able to save some of the benefits they were in receipt of. For someone who was in the past in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (an adult whose DLA began before June 2013) was it okay to have saved some of the money (not spent it all and some accrued)? Secondly, for someone in receipt of contributions-based ESA currently and in the support group, is it okay again to have not spent all of the benefit received and therefore have some saved?

Regards,
Jane

What you spend your money on or don't is entirely up to you, the only issue to be aware of is if you ever receive an Income Related benefit then your savings are taken into account.
