I’m currently under going a no win no fee claim against my old employer for compensation. Is the industrial injuries benefit payed for life or just a short term thing? And also if i win my compensation claim do i have to pay back money already paid to me?
Are you afraid to ask your lawyer? She has the actual facts and background that would allow her to answer your question. We don’t.
Any answer you get here will be worthless. No facts = no answer.

You will get it for life even when you return to work and you don’t have to pay it back. If you are permanently injured you will have to have an assessment every 6-12 months for 3 years then they will not need to see you anymore unless your condition changes.
It seems as though you have to pay it back when you are compensated but what happens is they take it into account when they are calculating your loss of earnings, but you will carry getting it after the claim.

I was crippled for life in an industrial accident
if you have received interim payments from the defendant, you will not have to pay these back since i assume they have already admitted liability.
