Savings limits for HAP

    I know that the Savings limits for Rent Allowance are that any savings over 5,000 Euro are taken into consideration when calculating RA.

    However I can't seem to find any guidelines concerning savings limits for being on the HAP scheme. Does this mean that there aren't any limits on savings?

    I am on the HAP scheme but I may be inheriting money in the future. If I am over the limit for Disability allowance I will come off that payment but if I have no income and am living off my savings, would I lose my HAP as well?

    Depending on the circumstances you could be over limit for social housing so you would likely lose hap too.
