Hi.
Son is applying for benefits for 1st time so confused by it all.
Son pays into a pension and the money is taken by his employer before he gets his wages
When filling out form online UC states income, does it mean all or taxable Gross after pension deductions.
I know wtc used to be after deductions. Thanks

It's net earnings but UC is about earnings received during your monthly assessment period. If he has savings/capital of more than £16,000 then he's excluded from claiming. If he lives with a partner they claim as a couple.
