Pension contributions and UC

Hi, I receive UC and have no work commitments. I also receive Cont ESA and have an ill health retirement pension income. Alongside this, I make a monthly contribution into a stakeholder pension for my future. My question is - am I entitled to have these pension contributions taken into account when my monthly UC is calculated thus increasing my award or are pension contributions only taken into account for workers? I have asked this on my journal previously and not received a response

Many thanks.

Thank you David. I’m really confused with the differences between UC and TC. I migrated in April 2024 and I realise now that I didn’t update them with regards to a pension income increase as it happened around the same time and with TC they were updated automatically and went on previous years. Who should I contact and how should I explain?
