CARTER, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result because Iowa Code section 85.22 only comes into play when “compensation is payable under this chapter.” With respect to a special case settlement, Iowa Code section 85.35 provides that “[s]uch payment shall not be construed as a payment of weekly compensation.” Consequently, I do not believe such payment constitutes compensation payable under chapter 85.
I cannot join the majority opinion because I am convinced that Bankers Standard Insurance Co. v. Stanley, 661 N.W.2d 178 (Iowa 2003), on which the court relies, was wrongly decided.
