Hi was wondering if anyone could give some advice. Me and my partner was on universal credit for a while, during this time
i was waiting for compensation for a personal injury (ptsd) ive had a substantial payout for that. Which i have just told them about but its like ten months after i recieved it, basically my mental state wasnt great at the time and my partner had a new born aswell. We just didnt have universal credit on our minds at all ( wrong i know) now however my partner is back to work we wanted to close the claim. We have told them about the payment and theyve asked us to bring paperwork for the ptsd compensation and the money going into the bank account, which we have got.
This payment has been recieved within the 52 week disregard period , i know they may not be happy about the delayed notification of it of which we will apologise, but do they have to disregard this compensation? We have already stopped the claim, we dont intend to keep claiming, we want the claim stopped. But just need advice on the 52 week rule regarding this. Thank you to any one that can help
