    Universal Credit is fully means tested, so if your inheritance puts you over the capital limit of £16k then you wouldn't be entitled to any Universal Credit. Keeping an individual element open isn't possible.

    Hi @mp50 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    I see Kimi has already answered your question and given some good information so I won't add anything else today but it's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the forum😊
