UC and a debt repayment - will they disregard it?

Hi,

Once my UC payments begin, my non-dependent son will apparently no longer be liable to pay the rent, as he is now. In which case, he owes me a large and (very) long-standing debt which we've agreed he can finally start repaying at £200 per month.

My question is, how will UC regard this money when I declare it? I know there's a certain amount of 'permitted income' with UC, but I don't know if a debt repayment counts.

Thanks.

Hi wibblum

There is no need to declare it as it does not fall within one of the specified categories of unearned income for UC.
