These benefits are means tested and they won’t reduce other benefits you may be claiming.
In fact, it could actually mean that you are entitled to more benefits so make sure you take advantage of what could be rightfully yours.
It is worth mentioning that some Benefits are changing and for advice about the changes, head to Directgov’s website here.
