UC and Savings

I am aware of means tested benefits and rules.

Can you please tell me if you need inform DWP if your savings fluctuate below the £6000 limit ?

In my first UC assessment phase i had around £1000 in savings but recently went above that by a small amount.

Would i be right not informing DWP if savings remains below £6000 provided invome is purely from IR benefits?

Thanks in Advance

Whatever savings you have is YOUR business. You do not have to tell the DWP unless they exceed £6000. Money in your current cycle does not count, so say you got £100 a week from the DWP. If you had £6000 and then the dwp paid you, [so you had £6100], this does not matter, as long as you spent the £100 in the period it was awarded for.

Best not go anywhere near £6000 though, as if you are close to it and they know, they will hound you..
