PPI and DWP

Apologies if this has been asked before. I have found out today that I will be receiving a PPI payout approx £2600, £1600 is gross interest which I know I have to declare to DWP as I receive tax credits. I used a claim company and will have to pay them over £600 from the total amount I receive. My question is do I declare the £1600, as my income wont be increasing by that amount due to the payment to the PPI company, or doesn't that matter?

It’s likely the DWP will base it on the gross amount as they haven’t instructed you to use a CMC and will see it at £1600 earnings. The fact you have to pay a CMC is your problem, not theirshelpful tips
it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'
it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)0
