Help! Settlement figure was created by ClaireBB

Hi all. My mum recently received LWRA and has left her job on grounds of ill health. Her employment has ended and she had her final pay day. She had made a grievance against her boss and the outcome is that the business wishes to make a financial settlement, likely to be a couple of grand. This payment will be ex gratia, so not subject to tax or NI in compensation of her experience. Should mum add a note to journal explaining this / will this impact her universal credit?

Although the payment should not directly affect her UC it is best to report any payment to the DWP lest they find it themselves.

If the payment means that her total savings and assets exceed £6000 then there will be a monthly deduction from her UC payments.
