Benefits & Tax Credits

A question about : Universal Credit query

Universal Credit is due to set out in my area very soon

Ive been searching for a job in which I would be able to undertake without damaging my health and I think I've found one! Hooray!

I used a benefits checker and my entitlement to TC was approx 110pw - and partial housing benefit of Ј60 - they couldn't be 100% due to certain information.

A question about : Informing of ESA ending claim

Hi

If you are claiming ESA and know the date that you are returning to work,can you inform DWP of this a couple of weeks in advance and continue to be paid until that date, or is it a case of the minute you inform them then your claim will end there and then ?

Thank you

A question about : Does withdrawal of pension pot affect Tax Credits?

I am over 55 and plan to cash in a pension pot in April. 25% of this will be tax free and the rest taxed at my marginal rate. It should just about be covered by my personal tax allowance so there will be no actual tax to pay (although I suspect I might have to pay it and claim it back). What I am wondering is whether the 75% will count as income for Tax Credits purposes. If so, I may have to reconsider.

Thanks for any help.
