SSDI recovery attorney fees included as income

 SSDI  included the attorney( I hire)  fees payout as part of my income even though it was paid out directly to the attorney,  So I'm going to be paying income on $6000 that was paid to the attorney that I never received.    Lumppayout + Attorney fee = total taxable income.    Can this be right?    Not to say that the attorney will pay income tax on the same $6000, Taxed twice.
