If claimants have managed to save some money after years of claiming tax credits they may now lose their benefits when they migrate to Universal Credit due to rules about capital savings. Universal Credit is means tested, and savings can impact the amount you receive. This will put people into the position of having to use their savings to live or sell their assets before they can receive the full amount of UC, We believe this is unfair and might put people into poverty.
