Care home fees, pension credit.

My DM is just about to move into a care home which she will be funding by selling her home.
She currently receives pension credit because her state pension is so low. I’m trying to work out if she lose this if they count the house sale money as savings.
Has anyone had experience of this?

I’m no expert but once your mum has over the threshold, I believe her pension credit will stop.

It will stop, at least 5 years ago when MIL sold her house. I can't imagine that has changed. She will have to use her savings from the house sale until it's below the threshold again to get pension credits.
