Urgent- DRO REVOKED from personal injury settlement ?

Thanks DD,

There's nothing for loss of earnings whatsoever. The sum states this in the email from my solicitor:
- £££ for your injuries
-£££ for your physiotherapist (goes direct to the physio company/ not mine)
-£10 for medication
-£40 for travel

I think the biggest reason for my anxiety is that it's all down to reasonable discretion. One Payplan guy thought me using the money for a car under £1000 and the rest on living costs was fair and justifiable, another advisor said otherwise. It could be luck of the draw who I end up speaking to and I do think some people are generally more lenient in these kinds of things than others I'm also worried they'll want to trawl through my bank statements (reason I'm worried is I've been transferring money around constantly to try and keep it separate for bills/food/travel and it's a mess)

A large chunk of that seems to be to reimburse you for expenses you've already incurred, so there's little reason for at least the portion not identified as for your injuries to matter.

I suggest telling the DRO unit that breakdown and that the award has been agreed but not paid yet and ask them whether they want to be notified when the award is received, whether that's during or after the DRO period.

The guidance suggests that they will not even want to be informed because it'll be disregarded anyway.
