Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000

Perhaps I'm being particularly dim here, but to me it is very clear cut.

For most means tested benefits the amount you're allowed to have in savings is up to£16,000.

If you have a windfall, from wherever, and don't inform the relevant bodies, who then adjust the amount of benefit claimed, then it is treated as fraud.
