Is it correct that somone with more than £16K assets cannot get benefits under any circumastances?
My business recently closed down and I didnt go bankrupt but am left pennyless. I am being refused benefits because of £500K of property abroad that i jointly own with several relatives who refuse to sell.
I am , of course looking for work but have rent arrears of 3 months plus council tax arrears of 3 months. the bailiffs for CT our already on my back. I have a wife and 2 young kids. It would help me find work if i could at least get JSA but I lived out of the country for years and then started this business that has been a drain.
