    I think I read here that you can E20,000 before they start considering it as means for means tested allowances, is this the case for Disability benefit, if you don't have an income assuming you are determined to be unable to work, do you still en titled to an income in the same way an unemployed person is for Jobseekers Benefit? Does anyone know?

    yes you can have 20.000 and it does not affect means tested allowances.

    So, as long as you can prove you have no income you are entitled? Also, if you did have 20,000 and didn't tell them and they later found out, do you think it would seriously affect your claim even though you would still legally be entitled to claim?
