Hi DJMH15

When I received .a small inheritance some years ago I sent a copy of the letter from the solicitor which stated how much I had received.
I sent it to the address at the top of my last letter from the DWP and sent it track and trace.
In my case, as I hadn't had a letter from the DWP adjusting my ESA i followed it up with a telephone call, they confirmed they had my correspondence but it had not been actioned yet.
Please keep your postage receipt and note any phone calls you make with name of the advisor,date and time of the call, this was useful to me when they finally got round to dealing with it. In other words I had done the correct thing by notifying them of the change by letter, the fact they hadn;t processed it was a failure on their part.
Other forum members have also posted about not hearing back from the DWP when they provide similar information so its best to have evidence of what you have done to make sure they cannot try to deny you didn't notify them on time.
I hope all goes smoothly in your case.

Thankyou very much gaddy, i will see if i can do the same. Get a letter from the solicitor, send it with proof and then phone them as well.
I want them to stop payments straight away, but don't know when it will be.
Thankyou
