Hello I currently receive UC and LCWRA without any deductions. On the govt website I have found that I need to inform the DWP if I am to make payments to my personal pension.
Also my pension pot may be seen as capital or savings.
From my previous post - I was under the impression that my current pension (£13K) would not be regarded as savings. And I could confidently make monthly payments to my pension without losing any UC or LCWRA payment.
Can someone please advise where I stand? I was considering setting up a direct debit to my pension.
Company/private Pensions are ignored for UC, unless they are in payment, in which case they are deducted £ for £ for UC claimants.
You need to seek specialist advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation: advicelocal.uk where they can take all your circumstances into consideration when giving you advice.
