I am to receive backpay from Social Services owed because I have waited a year for them to get their their act together and finalise my care assessment for a Direct Payment. Having savings of this amount affect would usually affect my Universal Credit claim. However I know backpay should usually be disregarded for 12 months but google AI told me social services backpay is disregarded indefinitely. Can anyone confirm the situation, please?

Hi Shelady

What was the nature of your application to Social Services? Is this remuneration for money you have had to spend for care?
