ESA Support Group Benefit & Savings

HI,
Shortly I am due to retire & have a pension from my work, which includes a 25% tax free lump sum that I can take when I retire. This figure is quite substantial & is over £16,000. However my wife is in a support group for ESA (she was previously on Incapacity Benefit). If I take my lump sum, will it have an impact on my wife's benefits?
