Will UC Review consider Enhanced PIP as Income?

in Universal Credit (UC)

I received that message in my UC journal to upload 4 months of bank statements for a 'review' of myn claim. My problem is that my enhanced PIP has taken me over the £6k in savings. How will UC treat my PIP?

    Hello @Bailey2025.

    PIP isn’t counted as income for Universal Credit but it is counted as savings/capital. Once it’s paid into your account, in simple terms, any amount still left at the end of your assessment period forms part of your total savings/capital.

    No, the UC was given by the DWP in the first place and even they're not THAT incompetent as to trigger a review.
