Passporting to CTB despite £16,000 capital?
Wed 29-Apr-09 11:43 AM |
I have spoken to a client who is likely to be made redundant soon. He expects to receive in excess of £16,000 in redundancy pay, the bulk of which will be contractual rather than statutory. He has a mortgage and it appears that he will qualify for ibJSA towards this, since the contractual redundancy pay is ignored for JSA (although not for IS, HB or CTB).
My query is whether the fact that he is on ibJSA will mean that he is automatically passported onto full CTB, despite the fact that his capital for CTB is actually more than £16,000?
