Hi

i am wondering if you can help I am currently in a protected trust deed and have been for over a year now. 

I have just applied for child disability payment for my son due to his recent diagnosis of his disability.

I have been told that once awarded they would potentially look to backdate which would mean I would be given a lump sum payment. My question is do I need to inform my trustee of this? As this is my sons disability payment & also do I need to let them know future payments I get for him until he is 18.

I am sure I have read somewhere that disability payments can’t be taken into consideration but I’m  it 100% sure. 

Thanks
