Tax on pension compensation

Hi
Not sure if this is the right place but please feel free to point me.

What I need to know is do you pay tax on compensation payed by the fscs ?
I had a couple of pension investments that have gone wrong one to fraud and the the other really bad advice, I made a claim to the fscs and was happy to receive most of the money I lost back.

But they told me that I may have to pay tax on it.

Can any one help please?

Thanks Pete
