Backdated Payments Vs Savings

Backdated Payments Vs Savings was created by DA0
Hi,
My brother just won an ESA(IR) Tribunal decision.
Long story short...
I calculate he'll be entitled to about £9k in backdated payments (half for the last 9 months when the DWP paid him nothing, the rest over 3 years+ prior to that).
Now the family have supported him financially over this time, but technically he will have more than £6k in his bank account, once the backdating is repaid.
Surely this would technically reduce any ESA(IR) payments (by £12/week), until the amount in the bank reduces below £6k.
Strange days when good news gives you a problem, but we're talking about the DWP.
Any advice, other than family members being reimbursed, which I'm not looking for, welcome.
Keep up the good work.
