what's the current status of the claim?
are any additional benefits pending?
it's really a matter of whether the disability benefits are due or not.
if it's an overpayment, it will be included as cost on the employers account.
like many such situations, it's a personal choice; if she finds a wallet or purse does she turn it in or not?
if she has additional disability benefits due - from permanent impairment -the overpayment can be deducted.
it sounds like the judge looked at the evidence and determined the payment was not due. it seems funny that the judge would not say what to do with the check and only what not to do with it.
also she can ask the employer since the amount will be reported as a cost of the claim.
