I think invalidity pension is counted as reckonable income

The following payments, known for the purposes of this Scheme as “income disregards” are not included in calculating reckonable income —
•Child Benefit
•Family Income Supplement
•Disability Allowance (where paid to the applicant),
•Blind Pension (where paid to the applicant),
•One Parent Family Payments (Means Tested) (where paid to the applicant)
•Guardian’s Payment,
•Foster Care Allowance,
•Domiciliary Care Allowance,
•Carer’s Allowance,
•Student Assistance Fund,
•Student grant,
•Compensation for a personal injury
