    Hi,

    The pension will be counted as income £1 for £1 when calculating any universal credit. 

    Id advise you to contact and advice agency near you for a full benefit check. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
