Title: How do they figure that?
Post by: Uncle Mort on April 06, 2012, 10:46:28 AM

Now I'm living on a small income I was pondering if there were any benefits I could claim. Well, if you don't ask you don't get.

Anyway a quick perusal on the "entitledto" website showed that the goverment's idea of a low income and mine were worlds apart. Also, my having lots of savings trumps any possible claim. And that's where my question comes in. The government calulation for income from capital is "£1 per week for every £250 of capital" That equates to an annual return of 20%. Perhaps I should ask George Osborne for some investment advice because I would be a very happy and much richer man if I could get that sort of return.
