Babe, unless it has changed, you are allowed to keep the profit from your MAIN residence for 12 months without it affecting your payments. (rental properties are different)

This gives you 12 months to reinvest, or buy another property with it, you dont have to "live" off it. I have had this twice with the last 2 properties I sold.. both times they let me keep it for 12 months before it became part of my means test.

I dont think its on the website, but one phone call should let you know if it has changed.


*hugs babe* xoxo
