Hi, I'm looking for some advice regarding Personal Injury Trusts and DWP/Universal Credit.

A friend has an existing Personal Injury Trust, which was set up for compensation from a personal injury settlement. The trust was declared to DWP at the time, and as far as we know, everything is in place and accepted.

They have now received a further compensation payment arising from the same original personal injury claim/settlement.

My question is when this further payment is paid into the existing Personal Injury Trust account, what is the correct way to notify DWP/UC?

Should it be reported as a change of circumstances on the UC journal, with evidence such as the solicitor’s letter, trust deed, and trust bank statement?
