Council Tax Benefit: Does This Need To Be Reported?
I'm a non-dependent adult living with parents and they're currently getting council tax benefit.
I've been trying to find out online about changes that need to be reported (especially regarding non-dependents) that may affect the benefit.
So far, I only found that you need to report changes regarding the home owner's houshold income (including their savings, pensions and their partner's income) and how much non-dependents are earning weekly (which has been reported) and how much they earn goes up or down.
But I couldn't find any mention of non-dependent's savings exceeding £16,000.
If a non-dependent has over £16,000 in personal savings does this need to be reported or does this kind of change only apply to the home owner and their partner?
Thanks.

So if there's no mention about capital, then its not a condition

Those rules only apply to pensioners - local authorities set their own rules for working age people, so if the claimant is below pension credit age, they would have to check with their council to confirm.
