Hello all.

I am in a very unique situation where I won an unemployment tribunal on the basis of severe bullying from management that I decided to whistle blow on. I'm posting anonymously as I had to sign an NDA.

The money was paid to me in a lump sum of $150,000 from my company and then I had a four month gap in between where I received no new income as I was living on this settlement payment.

I now have a new role and I'm an employed remote worker. Majority of that settlement payment was given to family members. So I only have around 30,000 left.

Do you think immigration would accept or understand being paid a large assessment payment as a result of an employment tribunal as an acceptable source of income, if there were a few months in between where I received no income at all and was unemployed?

Do you think I should explain this to them especially considering I signed a NDA or do you think this will just make them see me as complex and it is better off saying that I was just paid off a large redundancy payment?

anyone apply using rental property and/or military VA benefits as sources of income for the dtv?

I have the 500k THB in my bank account, so i just need to provide the earning money while living abroad, Would receiving regular income from either of the following qualify me for the DTV

Rental Property

Air Bnb

Stock market trading/dividends
