Whether income is exempt or not has nothing to do with whether it gets included in the "means test" for determining eligibility. Workers Compensation payments received in the 6 calendar months prior to filing your case must be included in Form 22A. How and to what extent that affects your eligibility for Chapter 7 depends on a myriad of other factors. You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your area for more direction.
