What effect will FAS payments have on my social security benefits and pensions?
FAS payments will be taken into account when working out many social security benefits (e.g. Pension Credit, Jobseekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, and Council Tax Benefit) and tax credits, in the same way as an occupational pension. You should tell whichever office pays your benefits if you are receiving FAS payments. Receiving FAS payments will not affect your work pension from other schemes, your personal pension or your State Pension.
