Carers Allowance/Pension Lump Sum

I am in receipt of Carers Allowance for looking after my husband. I am approaching my 60th birthday and have a private pension that is due to mature. There is a lump sum of £11000 approx, which I am considering taking about 8500 this tax year and the remainder next tax year. I do not have any other income besides the Carers Allowance. If I add the Carers Allowance that I have had this year (only since July) and the £8500 of the lump sum. That should keep me below the tax threshold. But would it affect the Carers Allowance for this financial year/next

Hi,I think you need to get further advice regarding this as even though my benefit knowledge is very good i'm unsure of the answer to this because it's a tax question, rather than a benefits question.For the pension lump sum, does your husband receive any means tested benefits?0
