    Money that's owed to you from benefits is disregarded for 1 year from the date you receive it.

    As I advised, money that's owed to you from benefits is disregarded, which means it's not counted towards your savings for 1 year.

    If you had less than £6,000 before you had the lump sum then there's nothing to report and nothing will happen.

    Please remember that when you ring any DWP department you're speaking to someone from a call centre who will very often have very little knowledge of benefits, other than to sit there reading from a screen. Therefore, they are not the best people to ring for such advice and you should avoid doing this.
