Hi
My wife and I were in receipt of universal credit for 12 months. She also receives PIP and my son is special needs and receives DLA.
My wife then inherited £25K in January 2020 - and we immediately informed UC and of course the benefit stopped.
The money has now just about ran out and although I am self employed I am like many people adversely affected by the pandemic and unable to generate any income.
Has anyone experience of the above scenario - will we be able to receive UC again or will they say that spending £25K in 10 months is unreasonable and refuse to allow the claim?
Will they ask for proof of where the money has been spent etc?
