SIPP being taken into account for Universal Credit - thank you

A note to other Forum Users

A few weeks ago, I was on this forum and came across a thread by people asking whether SIPP contributions were taken into account for Universal Credit and some people were advising on letters their MPs had sent. I have a SIPP and was able to use the advice on that thread to contact my MP and ask for their assistance with the DWP. I am pleased to say that the DWP agreed and not only agreed to allow the deductions going forwards but also recalculated the payments that had been made previously. 

I am so grateful to those posters as I would never have thought to contact my MP. 

Thank you!
