SDP backdated payment - disregarded?

I think I've read on another link here that a backdated award of an SDP payment is disregarded indefinitely, if claiming UC?
A payment of in excess of £6,000 is due to be received so would this amount be disregarded?
I know I have to let UC know about the backdated award and payment.

Thanks very much.0 -
When you inform DWP of receipt of the backdated payment make sure you stress where the money has come from. If you can't embolden entries in your log (or whatever the term is), I would repeat that this is backdated payment of SDP.1

I would put the payment into a separate account so it's totally clear that the money (capital) is disregarded

Quick update:
Backpayment of SDP received
UC have confirmed payment is disregarded
Transitional Protection on UC claim + back payment
Total time for ESA migration, new appointee, SDP request and UC claim completed(with LCWRA)
4 weeks, I think I have been lucky.
Thanks for everyone's help
