    Hi,

    Yes you should report it. But if it's benefits backpay then it gets disregarded and won't affect your payments.

    Hi @tennis63

    It's always best to report any additional income but like OverlyAnxious said if its backpay then it won't be affect your current payment😊

    It's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community!
