Pension Lump Sum

I got a PLS last year and was told it was tax free. I do not know whether to include it in my income for last year, and how it will be differentiated from the ongoing pension payments. I am under the £40,000 annual threshold which I read about in the HMRC notes for the pension section, but I just don't know whether I need to declare this or not. And whether it should be declared as a separate pension from the ongoing job pension, as that has been taxed.

Hi
You would only declare the amount of lump sum above the tax free amount in your tax return.
