UC eligibility depends on having less than £16k in assets. Now, let's assume someone inherits a property abroad (EU) that is practically impossible to monetise: a flat rented to a tenant who can't be evicted (tenancy protected by local regulations), or a house that can't be sold as it was constructed partly illegally, and is in unrentable location?
Now, what the mechanism that the DWP is (or is not?) informed about such assets? Because declaring the properties to DWP would almost certainly end the claim, however the reality is that the claimant remains as poor as they were before receiving the inheritance, if not poorer due to costs.
How do these things work in practice?
