English term or phrase: damages net of sums recoverable (benefits) by the Compensation Recovery Unit.

A clause in a conditional fee agreement:
The Success Fee is also capped at 25% of the total amount of:
general damages for pain suffering and loss of amenity; and
damages for pecuniary loss, other than future pecuniary loss.
The cap is applicable to damages net of sums recoverable (benefits) by the Compensation Recovery Unit.

Please help me understand this sentence. I have read about the Compensation recovery Unit but I'm still unclear as to the exact meaning. Does it mean that CRU can recover from net damages a capped amount for benefits someone received?
