Dear Sirs,
I am 66 years old. I am on social security disability. I have received a judgement from the court on a workman's a compensation judgement.
How much do they take out of Social Security Disability amount?

We need a LOT more information... workmans comp isn't going to come out of your SSI . That's paid by the employers Workmans Comp Insurance company.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a WC award and if the OP thinks income counts when SS is involved.

I'm thinking that might be the case..

Dear sirs/madams, I have received a decision from the court. They have awarded me 278 a week for a part time job injury.
This is the average pay per week for the time I worked.
I make 2200 on Social Security Disability from a previous injury (different from the injury I just had with part time employment) With my retirement I make approximately 3800 a month. Without this award.
What the defense is arguing is it is a wash now as I am disabled and make too much money a month, according to the law? Basically being paid twice for disability. This has turned into a very complex case for me and I'm just trying to find out if it's true?
Could you hep me?
Sincerely,
Dan Studzinski

It's my understanding that SSD turns into "straight" SS when a person reaches retirement age. Are you POSITIVE you are receiving SSD?

You are right I am on straight old age social security at 66. And at the time of the accident (Oct. 17th 2010) I was 66. Now they are saying even though I am 66 I am getting the same social security disability money. Change in status but same money. It also states in the law that I can make as much money as I can at age 66.

This is what is confusing me. They are about to cut my decision and back pay by 80%. Can you help me here?

"They" are cutting your decision and backpay. When you say "they" do you mean workers comp?

WC is totally separate from SS. WHY is your settlement being reduced? Was there an error, something concerning procedure?

Judy, This Petition from the defense attorney to "Set aside Final Receipt (Ask Judge to set aside Agreement to stop Compensation)" was just received. I am awaiting a court date. As previously stated I make 2200 hundred from Social security, 1500 from my retirement a total of 3700 hundred a month. Social security has told me after 66 I could make as much as I want. I was making (average) of 278 part time work (same amount awarded by the court). I have no idea why this will be disallowed by the with proof by the defense attorney. I will received a brief soon and breakdown. Could you explain this?
Sincerely / Daniel Studzinski
