compensation settlement & benefits

I'm due to receive an compensation settlement minus the benefits that I have been paid over the last three years. Will this settlement mean I won't be allowed to claim benefits ever again ?

No, it won't. The benefits are deducted from your settlement because this does not form part of your loss; in other words they are damages that you have effectively already recovered. The Defendant actually has a liability to pay these benefits back via the Compensation Recovery Unit (CRU), which any person who has worked in the relevant industry will be familiar with. You don't get them because you have already received them; paying them to you a second time would amount to double recovery."MIND IF I USE YOUR PHONE?
