Hi Team As with the rulings that can apply to an inheritance money being used for a home purchase (to live in) for someone who is on IR ESA, & them being able to keep their benefits. Do you know if the same rulings/logic can apply to someone who may be able to cash in a deferred occupational pension(before pension age) for the purposes of being able to secure a home. ? I understand that if tax is payable on a lump sum, then the amount can appear as Income, but would you know , if this income could follow the same possible exemptions if used for the said purposes. Sorry to ask such a difficult question.
Sorry but this is outside the scope of what we deal with within the forum. We are here to help people in relation to the information provided in the guides, but we aren’t able to give information on other issues
