DRO questions

Options
Hi,
I recently applied for a DRO with money wellness and had my phone assessment yesterday. 
Some things came up which I wanted to check before I approve my application.

I have settled/leave to remain status, will the DRO affect this? I am a EU national. The person I spoke to advised me to check.

I recently received a grant of £500 from my union to help with fuel and living costs. This was after I put my application in but before I had the phone assessment. I applied for the grant back in November. I have used most of this money to pay bills and transport costs but I still have some left. I forgot to declare this amount as an income. Does it even count as income? It’s a one off payment.

I have a laptop plan with Sky, I pay monthly and I have 3 years of the contract left. This has been put down as a debt. Will I need to give the laptop back if it’s on the DRO?

I hope this all makes sense, thank you.
