    Basically I’ve been awarded it for an accident I had at work involving my elbow. I was wondering if getting it will affect my compensation claim and also if my employer are liable to pay the iidb I receive back to the DWP?

    Thanks

    I am hoping someone with more knowledge and experience in this area can respond to you soon @couplada.

    Unfortunately, this is not my area of expertise and I wouldn't want to say the wrong thing. You deserve better than that.

    In the meantime, I wanted to respond to say I have read your response and I hear and see you. Also, please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything else to support you  :)
