You should report the bonus to the OR but it really depends upon the OR as to whether and how much they will take. If this is just a one-off payment then the OR may think it is not worth the paperwork and you can keep the whole amount.

I suspect that the OR will view this as a windfall payment rather than basic income so while it won't effect the IPA it would probably be forefit.

That is correct. This payment is over and above your normal earnings so in my view is a windfall.

I do not believe it will be looked at as regular earnings and therefore subject to a monthly ipa
