Investing while on Disability Allowance

Hi,

I’m new to this and was wondering what to do.

I’m currently on Disability Allowance, 46 years old, 4 kids, my wife works a couple of hours a week and also receives carers allowance for one of the children.

I have no mortgage, loans or debts.
No pension plan and no investments.

I received a personal injury and was looking to invest most of it. Probably 90-100k

How can I keep my Disability Allowance while being able to invest for a reasonable pension in 20 years or so?

Thanks
