Personal Injury and IOAW Benefits: Important Information

Questioner

Does a personal injury benefit affect an unemployment benefit?

Lawyer

The question is too general to answer. It depends on what the damage items that are compensated consist of and over which period they should be allocated. If it concerns loss of earning capacity that extends over the period in which an IOAW benefit has been awarded, then a settlement can take place. When settling a personal injury case and a social assistance benefit or an IAOW benefit, it is important to pay close attention to how the items of damage are calculated and named. If you already have a personal injury lawyer, you should discuss this thoroughly. Otherwise, this is the time to submit the settlement proposal. If you wish, you can contact us.

The ioaw benefit is included in the personal injury. The personal injury consists of pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity and pension damage. Receive a ww benefit for another 2 years and 2 months and then therefore dependent on ioaw benefit. The personal injury benefit is currently calculated by an accounting agency.

Lawyer

I advise to pay close attention to whether the calculation of the loss of earning capacity including the pension damage relates to the period in which IOAW is awarded. If this is the case, then the recovery of IOAW by the board of mayor and aldermen must be taken into account. A correct calculation by the accounting office must therefore take into account that there is no IOAW benefit after unemployment benefit.
