I am not in the UK so I don't understand yall's system. But, I will give you a US point of view.
I'm sorry you had a hard childhood. It is nice to hear you have been giving a compensation for it (something that would never happen here in the US I think ;-) hahah!)
I am not familiar with your laws regarding this money; but it sounds like a wonderful windfall. If I were you, I would use some of the compensation money for education so you can get a job that will earn you enough to cover your childcare needs in the future and help you qualify for a satisfying and fulfilling career. I know it sounds corny; but it is really fun to bring home your own paycheck and know that you are making the world better through your work.You would set a good example for your kids. Your own self esteem would be better and you might have a better chance of meeting a lifelong partner. What a wonderful success story you would be if you could rise over the adversity of your hard upbringing and find your real passion in life. You could change the world! And then write a book about your experience and retire to a large country house and raise chickens or something ;-) hahah!
Perhaps there are counselors there who can help you budget the money and see if this sort of plan could work for you?
Come back and tell us what you decide to do. Best of luck!

I suggest you seek financial advice with regards to this, the local community parish should be able to point you in the right direction for free advice and good luck, I know what you mean about the compensation business, I'm going to have the same problem here when I get paid out.
