Personal injury claim

[thomowolf1971]

Hi,
I have posted this before, but i think i put it in the wrong section!!. I'm looking for advice on my personal injury claim. I was injured at work 18 months ago. I could have easily been killed but wont bore you with the details and to cut a long story short, i am due £4000 for pain and suffering. I only started my IVA in february this year and wondered if i had to declare it to my Case officer?. Our house is in dire need of re decorating and several major appliances need replacing. Our 3 year old daughter also needs to move into her own bedroom. I have heard that you have to pay any windfall into your IVA, but is this classed as a windfall?. I cant seem to find anything in my IVA proposal to clarify the situation. I am with payplan, who my creditors recommended to me.

Thanks to the guys who replied before!!.

Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I can't remember whether it's pain and suffering or loss of earnings that is classed as a windfall - sorry. Hopefully your IP can clarify tomorrow xx

Thanks Broke from London, I've e mailed my IP, Hopefully she will be in touch tomorrow. Fingers crossed i get to keep some of it!!. If anyone else can have a little input i would be grateful.

Hi,
Just a quick update if anyone is interested.
I've spoke to my case officer today and she is unsure wether it is classed as a windfall or not. She needs to speak to one of the company's Insolvency Practitioners. Hopefully my case officer will get back to me tomorrow.

Haven't heard nothing yet. Wont be till tuesday now!!...Its really difficult waiting for an answer!!..

Bit of a bummer, but hopefully Tuesday will bring you some news?

Pain and suffering are usually exempt but loss of wages is a windfall. You should be fine but get a copy of the compensation award notice for your IP's files.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the advice. I shall get in touch with my Solicitor asap about a compensation award notice.

That sounds positive from Michael! Let us know how you get on x

Fingers crossed for Tuesday!

[thomowolf1971]

Yeah thanks guys!!...Sounds positive. Just a quick question...Do all IP's follow the same rules?, Or is it ultimately down their discretion?.

Not sure whether it's down to the IP or the creditors.
