    Hope you don't feel I'm hijacking your thread, Maureen, but while we're on the subject of children's savings, does anyone know anything about how children's income will affect UC when it comes in? My kids get survivors' pensions from my late husband's pension schemes. They don't count for CTC/WTC, or for income tax (because they aren't big enough to go over the children's own personal tax allowances) but I think they might count for UC. Can anyone clarify please?

    I don't think there will be decisions made on this level of detail for tax credits replaced by UC yet although I don't see any reason why it would change under UC.
