Thank you for your email enquiry to Carers UK.
Any private or occupational pension payments that you receive (whether as a lump sum, a weekly amount, or both) will not affect your Carer’s Allowance.
This is because you are not entitled to Carer’s Allowance if you have earned income over the threshold of £120 per week. However, income from private/occupational pensions does not count as earned income, so would not be taken into account under this rule. Carer’s Allowance is not means-tested, so overall household income and level of savings does not affect entitlement to Carer’s Allowance in any way.
