Erstatningen beregnes normalt for den enkelte støttemodtager, og der fratrækkes eventuelle betalinger fra støttebeløbet, f.eks. ved udbetaling af forsikringspolicer, for at undgå overkompensation.
Compensation should normally be calculated at the level of the individual beneficiary, and in order to avoid over-compensation, any payments due, for example under insurance policies, should be deducted from the amount of aid.
