Pension 'relevant UK earnings' and Job Seekers Allowance

dbdbdb

Anyone know if contribution based job seekers allowance income counts as 'relevant UK earnings' for the purpose of determining how much I can contribute to a pension? (You can contribute up to 100% of your 'relevant UK earnings').

I think it should as it is taxable but I expect it isn't as it isn't 'earnings'.   

My earnings are low this tax year but I have  a lump sum (of more than 100% of my earnings, excluding JSA) which I want to put into my pension.

This suggests they're not.

Thanks and well found.  Confirms what I suspected. The closest that does count seems to be "Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) if paid by the employer and taxable" but is no help to me.
