Is a settlement agreement (compromise agreement) included or excluded from capital when assessing a Universal Credit application? Similarly, is a small pension lump sum taken as early retirement included or excluded from capital?
As Gordon said best to consult a local welfare advice centre but just to say from experience, my partner's pension lump sum was treated as capital and anything over 6,000 deducted from UC at a tariff rate (the benefits adviser will clarify how this works)
