Universal Credit when living with parents

I claim Universal Credit and live with my parents. My dad has recently received a pension lump sum of just under £41000. My question is simple - do I need to declare this as a change in circumstances?

Thanks.

    No. Your father’s finances have nothing to do with your Universal Credit entitlement.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Not unless he is giving you some of it and it's over 6k.
