Bank details for rent allowance

Del007

The rent allowance officer is asking for 3 months bank statement off me. How much is maximum in a bank account to be eligible for rent allowance?

Thanks for you help

Something like €30,000 and only then does it start affecting the amount, not the entitlement.

EDIT: read post below.

Sadly I don't have to worry about that amount

Any sum over Euro 5,000 will be assessed in determining how much Rent Supplement you will receive - see below

Income taken into account for Rent Supplement
Net income from employment (this is gross income less PRSI and reasonable travel expenses. A child dependant aged 17 and under in full-time education does not have their income from employment assessed as means for Rent Supplement.)
Social welfare payments (for exceptions - see 'Income not taken into account' below)
Family Income Supplement
Cash income (for example, maintenance)
All income and the value of all property of which the claimant deprived himself/herself in order to qualify for SWA
Capital (for example, property except your own home, savings and investments).
The capital value of property (except your own home), savings and investments will be assessed on a weekly basis as follows:

Capital Weekly means assessed as
First €5,000 Nil
Next €10,000 €1 per €1,000
Next €25,000 €2 per €1,000
Any capital over €40,000 €4 per €1,000.

Does that mean that if you have 6 grand in the bank then they'll take 1 euro off what you're entitled to?

€1 per week.
