A friend of mine has been off of work for 11 months in a disability discrimination dispute. A settlement has now been agreed offering compensation, for the discrimination, and a loss of earnings payment.
Her SSP ran out in August and therefore she has been claiming CB-ESA since then.
Is the ESA repayable, as they will soon be getting a loss of earnings payment that will cover the very period for which the ESA was paid?
I can only find information on repayment of ESA relating to a personal injury claim.
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it? I'm sorry but I cannot give you a definitive answer, their solicitor should be able to offer advice and if necessary set up a trust fund to hold the monies.
However, I don't believe that the DWP will try to recover any money as it is not related to the reasons that they are claiming ESA, but I could be wrong!
