A bit of advice needed if anyone can help? My father recently passed away, he lived in council property for over 60 years where he has claimed HB for as long as I can remember, he also claimed AA for the past 10 years as his health got the better of him and needed extra help in and around the house. His Will has stated that the total capital is £43000, the DWP are now investigating a fraudulent claim, and state he shouldn't have claimed the benefits because of the accumulated savings. These savings I believe we're mostly gathered during the past two years where he lived a desolate life barely ever spending anything. I am completely oblivious to the situation and have no idea where we stand. I have never claimed any benefits so please omit my ignorance about the situation. Do we have to pay both benefits back? If the DWP request all of it is paid back, then 60+ years worth of HB is a hell of a lot of money?? HELP thank you:j
