In the UK what happens when....?
someone who is in receipt of disability/mobility benefits buys their home then dies? Does the house go to their next of kin or does it go to the State, who has been paying them benefits?
Thanks R. Amazing!

It's not that simple! The house officially goes to the next of kin however any overpayments in benefits, debts and inheritence tax must be paid out of the estate. If the next of kin can't afford to pay those bills the house MUST be sold to pay them.
