Any body have any advice, here's what it is.
My uncle died and haS left me over £25,000 so my UC/ESA (and councill tax support), will be stopped altogether.
When i have lived off the inheritance and i am below £16,000 will they reinstate my UC/ESA or will it be classed as a new claim ?
thanjks.

Hi Owen

When the executor of the will has credited your bank account with the capital and your total savings have gone over £16,000 then your UC claim will end. You can make a new claim when your total savings are less than £16k but you will have lost the UC LCW or UC LCWRA status and you will need to complete what the DWP call the Health Journey.
