//Effect of State Benefits on Compensation Payments

If you receive a compensation payment, subject to the amount received, your entitlement to continue to receive state benefits will depend on whether or not a particular benefit is means tested.

Non-Means Tested Benefits

The following benefits are payable whatever levels of income or capital you have and any compensation payment will not affect your entitlement to continue to receive the benefit.

– Incapacity Benefit
– Industrial Injuries Benefits
– Disability Living Allowance

Remember that the court award is tax free so he doesnt have to own up to it as income to the tax man
