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.
Am sure the figure for savings is £12,000 anything above that is taken into account
