Speaking from the perspective of HB (although I'm pretty certain the principles are the same for IS on this issue).......
Based on the info given, there doesn't appear to be any disposal of capital for the purpose of increasing, or obtaining, HB.
HOWEVER, it's worth bearing in mind that the LA doesn't need to show that the disposal of capital was for a dominant purpose in obtaining HB. In order to show deprivation, the LA only need to show that the deprivation was a "significant operative purpose" (to obtain / increase HB).
There are lots of CDs on "significant operative purpose" - I'll point to some of them if needed.
