Backdated pip was created by gina35
I have just been awarded pip and have got a back payment of 9,000. I am making a claim for universal credit and council tax benefit . Does anyone know if this will be counted as income.

Thank You.

Hi gina35

No it is not counted as income and is ignored as capital for the first year.

You can have up to £6000 in savings and assets without it affecting your UC, over £6000 then there is a £1 per week deduction for every £250 or part thereof, in excess of the £6000.

Savings and assets in excess of £16,000 will mean that you are no longer eligible for UC and CTRS.
