Hi All,

Bit of a strange question. 

I am filling in the UC online application, when I came to the question.

Confirm previous earnings from work

My question is as my wife is early medically Retired, and only getting a small company pension,  734, NOT State Pension, as my wife is 60 y.o, so I was the only one working ft, do I need to include my wife's small earnings as well as mine, or just my earnings, when filling in that section.
Any help grateful received.

    Your wife's pension is not earnings, it's other income so you don't include this in your earnings. However, you still need to tell them about your wife's pension, which will reduce your UC £1 for £1.
