Non means tested benefit and Inheritance

[Lucky4Seven]

My mum died unexpectedly in July.

She left me with £25K cash.

She also made a provision for me to have a trust fund, which I understand will stand at around £250K, my brother has been made apointee to mange the trust fund, even though its in my name.

I am currently on contributions based ESA and PIP, I am NOT on anything means tested.

Will I need to declare this to the DWP!?

Not for PIP

Changes you don't have to report

You don't have to report the following changes because they don't affect whether you can get PIP or how much you get:

• being in work, returning to work or leaving work

• changes in your earnings or other income

• if someone joins or leaves your household

On the contribution based ESA - how long have you been receiving it for ?
