Buying private pension and UC

pinemartine

Hi, everyone.

I am expecting some inheritance and thinking to buy private pension with it as I don’t have property or much saving to support myself when I am older.

Currently I am on UC due to my health.
I wonder private pension would be considered as saving and might affect my UC.

Any advice’s appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @pinemartine

Inheritance is treated as capital for Universal Credit so if you have over £6,000, UC may be reduced or Over £16,000, you lose UC.

Money put into a private pension is not usually counted as savings for UC as long as the money stays in the pension and you’re not drawing from it, it’s generally safe🙂

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
