I had around a £16K SDP backpayment in 2021, which remains unspent (I have been saving that money for a rainy day). I now have around £15K in my bank account, and am trying to go through the online ESA to UC migration process after receiving a migration notice yesterday.
I am really stuck at this question:
"How much do you have in backdated benefit payments, in pounds and pence?"
Should I state the total amount of the backpayment received in 2021? That doesn't seem like the correct answer, though, as I have spend some of it. This seems like a bit of a trick question.
This is really so stressful, and the last thing I need when I am very poorly.
