Just wondered if anyone has had the supplement whilst on UC would be able to tell me if UC will take it off as income?

This says it won’t affect your other benefits. I suspect it’s under similar legislation to the Xmas Bonus, so no impact on UC etc.

Thank you. I have no idea why I couldn’t find that!

Weirdly it took me a while. I’m sure it wasn’t there the first time I looked? Or I just had a moment or something 🙃
