Hey @1985gct and welcome to the community.

Congratulations on getting the LCWRA award. With regard to the debt, the DWP prefer to take lump sums, so often they'll take any backpay from other benefits.

so do you think theyll take all my backpay to pay outstanding debt?

Hi @1985gct that's often how the DWP prefer to do things, but I can't say for definite if they would or not, you'd need to speak to the debt recovery team if you wanted to look into other payment plans.
