ESA-to-UC migration: where does legal settlement for discrimation go?

Hi!

So, I'm doing the ESA-to-UC managed migration thing. I know the maximum amount of capital you can have without them docking your payments is £6,000. I have £8,000, because last month I received £2,000 in a settlement from a disability discrimination claim.

The form is very straightforward so this seems obvious but I'm very stressed about this so I just want to double-check - would this £2,000 come under "compensation"? So would that look like this if filled in correctly?

This is what you have told us about your money, savings and investments:

Amount in bank account ending ****, You want your payments made into this account, £2,000.00

Current account ending ****, [Name of bank], £2,000.00

ISA account ending 3161, [Name of bank], £4,000.00

Your properties or investments: I do not have any of these

Compensation payments: £2,000.00

> Which tribunal made the judgement and who made the payment?

It never even made it to court! The payment was from the organisation who the claim was against, or from their insurers or legal guys or something.

It would come under "personal injury", as a claim against someone who discriminates based on disability is on the basis of injury to feelings.

That's a really useful PDF, thanks!

So I guess it's down to whether settlements are considered equivalent to a court order to pay?

It was CrossCountry, the train company. I'm not sure that this is relevant to my question?
