PPI compensation & tax/benefits

I am on ESA (support group), from April I will receive £130.65 pw, I just received compensation from Barclays bank for PPI relating to the years 1997 to 1999, they sent me a cheque for £927.13, I then had to pay the third party company who handled it a fee of £254.41, Barclays bank deducted income tax of £132.92 automatically before sending me the cheque, seeing as I do not pay income tax due to being on benefits am I entitled to claim back the £132.92 from HMRC or should I just leave it?

If you're below the threshold, you can reclaim it. The interest part of the redress is treated as income, so you may need to declare that in case it impacts your benefits.0
