Other sources of compensation
If you obtain compensation in some other way then it will be deducted from any award made by the CICA.

DWP Benefits
The DWP will pay certain benefits if you are assaulted and have no income – Income Support, Housing Benefit, Disability Living Allowance and many others. All of these benefits are taken into account when an award is made.  Digby Brown has its own welfare rights advisors and if you wish to know more about claiming DWP benefits we can arrange for them to contact you.
