The law applies to applicant's and partner's only if they were
the beneficial owners of the capital. So if an applicant is the
joint beneficial owner of a building society account which has
£10,000 in it and the applicant's share is £4,000, the
law
applies if the applicant spends or gives away
that £4,000 or any part of it for the purpose of getting more
benefit and
does not apply to the other £6,000 or any
part of it.
