Hello

Is a personal transport budget (for a child/young person paid to parent) something that has to be notified to UC?

(As far as I can tell it is not: www.leicestershire.gov.uk/education-and-...al-transport-budgets and families.leicester.gov.uk/send-local-off...nal-transport-budget):

The payments are not taxed and will not impact on other benefits that you may receive. This is because the personal transport budget is a payment made in relation to the child not the parent and is a grant that can be used in a variety of ways not just a ‘mileage allowance

It's been awarded on a discretionary basis and in place of school/college transport. It's been appealed as school transport is being sought.

Thank you.

Hi Me123

I think that Leicestershire Council is correct and that the payments are not counted for UC. They are not in the list of unearned income here:
