The DRO will complete in December this year0

So you are still bound by your DRO rules then, the assets rule has increased since you started your DRO, it now stands at £2000.ammalik786 said:The DRO will complete in December this year
Your DRO is still bound by the old rules, so you have a £1000 assets limit.
You received £900, well within the assets limit, so you are OK, and you don`t need to do or report anything.
