My sister is due to have a FAB interview on 3rd Jan. Whilst she doesn't personally have any savings that would take her over the £23,250 threshold,she is the sole beneficiary of a trust fund that was set up by our late parents to administer her equal share of the inheritance. She has no direct access to the fund and my brother and I have sole discretionary powers on how the money is used to support her. The amount currently in the fund is greater than the £23,250 threshold - will this be taken account in her FAB interview? Many thanks
