Your savings and capital (or your partner's savings, capital and income) are not taken into account when claiming New Style JSA . However, your earnings and any payment you are getting from a pension can affect the amount you may receive.
If you're applying to get income-based JSA, you'll also need to know how much you have in savings. Check any bank or savings accounts - and anywhere else that you have money. If you've been paid redundancy, you'll need to give full details of the payment - for example if it's 'statutory' or 'contractual' redundancy.
You can have up to £10,000 in savings before it affects your claim. Every £500 over that amount counts as £1 of weekly income. If you get Pension Credit guarantee credit, you can have more than £16,000 in savings without it affecting your claim.
Jobseeker's Allowance is a benefit for people who are not in full-time employment (work less than 16 hours per week), are capable of working and are looking for work. ... Type of benefit: Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance is means tested. Contributory/New Style Jobseeker's Allowance is non means tested.
Capital includes property (not your home), savings and investments. ... If you or your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant saves a portion of your social welfare payment each week, these savings as well as savings from most other sources will be taken into account as part of your means.
If you have less than £6,000 of capital then you should be able to claim the full benefit. If you have between £6,000 and £16,000 then you should get a reduced amount. However, if you have more than £16,000 in capital then you may not be able to claim Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support.

Banks tend to keep only enough cash in the vault to meet their anticipated transaction needs. Very small banks may only keep $50,000 or less on hand, while larger banks might keep as much as $200,000 or more available for transactions. This surprises many people who assume bank vaults are always full of cash.
If your inheritance is in the form of an annuity (an annual fixed sum payment) then this is treated as income and can affect the amount of your main benefit payment or your eligibility for the benefit. If you have inherited property, or money which is paid to you as a one-off payment, then these are regarded as assets.
If you claim, or plan to claim, any means-tested benefits, where the amount you get depends on your savings and income, a lump sum payment such as a redundancy pay-out, a drawdown from your pension or an inheritance, could affect the amount of any benefits you are entitled to.
