Receiving UC & LCWRA - will payments to pension reduce my UC?

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.

Hi graham526

Your question is outside the remit of the forum.

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.
