Pension lump sum

Dewslad

Hi, I am due to take a small lump sum to help pay my mortgage off and I am a carer for my daughter. Do I have to declare this and would it affect my carers allowance at all.
Thanks.

It will not affect your carers allowance. Are you claiming any other benefits?

Thank you Poppy for your reply,no I'm not on any other benefits so I don't think it will affect me.
