DWP Rules Shift: Home Ownership and Pensioner Benefits

Описание: The source provides a transcript from a YouTube video discussing new, subtle changes introduced by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) concerning home ownership for pensioners in the UK. The video warns that these unpublicised policy updates mean a person's owned home, often their largest asset, is now being scrutinised more closely when assessing eligibility for means-tested benefits such as Pension Credit and Housing Benefit. The changes could negatively impact a pensioner's support by reassessing their financial standing, especially in cases of inherited property, joint ownership, or where adult children move back home to provide care, which the DWP may now view as a shared financial arrangement. The transcript stresses that many pensioners, who are "asset-rich but income-poor," are being unknowingly penalised, and encourages viewers to be proactive, update their DWP records, and seek expert advice to protect their entitlements.
