few years ago, my fella fell off ladders and smashed all his bones in his foot. he has never been able to walk properly again. his boss accepted negigence snd compensation was paid out recently. but during this time, he was on incapacity benefits and as soon as his claim money came through his solicitor took out a huge payment to repay every penny back to the dss which was quite a few grand. is this right or was he ripped off? surely the dss doesnt expect every single peny back he recieved via benefits? anyone out there know anything? we live in uk. he had to repay nearly 5 years of £100 per week. im ery confused and feel it should be investgated about. my fella believes every word his lawyer says but i smell something fishy

Sorry, the Solicitor is right ..
The b*stards in Government ('Labour Party' ha ha, what a laugh) think it's a way of taking money from 'rich companies' ....
