L&I Claim and Social Security Benefits

[thegrayteam]

My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: Washington

I was getting a set amount of money from Social Security disability each month. I then became involved in an L & I case. My total amount of benefits stayed the same, but L & I started paying half the cost. The L & I case is about to be closed, will Social Security bump up my payments to where they were before l & I started paying half? thanks, we are confused.

maybe
SSDI modifies it's payments up and down in response to work comp.
if comp settles or commutes future payments into a single lump sum, then SSDI may continue reduced payments until the lump sum has been accounted for.
