SFE MEANS TESTING - unearned income

i’m filling out my means testing form & there’s a section where they ask the “unearned income” for dependents. i have understood this to mean any income a dependent child receives from outside of their parent. does this include any child tax credit/ child benefits? or are these excluded from the calculations. thanks in advance for the clarification :smile:

Hi there, this would be any unearned income you receive from savings, lettings, building rentals etc. Your benefits aren't classed as unearned income. If you don't have unearned income you would put 'no' beside this. Thanks, Jason
