Compensation Recovery

Where people have received compensation for an accident, injury or disease and have claimed benefits as a consequence of that accident, injury or disease; any Social Security benefits paid under these circumstances may be recoverable.

Health Service charges are also recovered on behalf of the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS). All monies recovered for DHSSPS are paid directly to the Health Service Trust who provided the Health Service treatment.
