Hi
It looks like a 3 year long injury claim is finally coming to and end, i have a small concern regarding benefit payments. I have read that you may have to pay back some money from your payout towards your benefits if the accident resulted in your claiming the benefits, I was already claiming DLA and ESA prior to and at the time of the accident. will i still have to pay some back?

Best place to ask is the DWPmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Any ESA (not DLA) payable directly due to the accident will in principle come off a compensation claim.
If there is no connection between the accident and your claim - and it did not elongate how long you've been claiming - none should be recovered.0
