Think I just heard on Beeb R 4 that disability claimants living with someone who has savings will not be entitled to benefit. To take effect a year after the imminent reassessment.

So if my illness should put me in a state of not being able to work, then because my partner has savings I would not be entitled to any benefit?

Why doesn't the government just set up voluntary euthanasia clinics now? Hey... There's a business opportunity. Should set up franchises directly adjacent to rich city homes and charge them to come watch.

Naww... that won't work because the mobility allowance is needed to get the conscripts volunteers to the inhumation office.
