    You will need to tell the OR about the reciept of the money but let them know what it was for. As it was for pain it will not be taken by the OR. You may need to copy the letter you recieved with the payment detailing what it was for as proof for the OR. Perhaps email them instead with the copy letter, letting them know that you know money for injuries cannot be taken.

    Skylight is right - if the money is for injury instead of loss of earnings the OR will not be able to take it.
