Invalidity Pension & FIS

[tinofapples]

Hi everybody,
Would anyone know from experience whether invalidity pension is calculated as income when totting up a households claim for Working Family Payment (FIS) ? My partner and I are both in employment but I may have to give it up due to a diagnosis I received a number of months ago, if this happens would an invalidity pension I may receive be added to my partners income when doing the maths for WFP/FIS ?

Thanks in advance.

Invalidity Pension will be counted as income when assessing for Working Family Payment.
