100% correct. All monies paid as 'disability' after the doctor writes you are P&S get subtracted from any outcome of the case...even a decision at trial.
the good news: it's like an interest-free loan!
the bad news: if you're applying for Unemployment INsurance because you didn't go back to your pre-injury work, it gets deducted from your Unemployment.
