Deprivation of capital: introduction

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.
