I need a tax expert to help my friend can you answer this question?

Question

My neighbor received disability payments from her work for 3 year under a insurance policy. She won her SSD. She had to pay the moneyback with her check and did. She also received a check for her son 15 then 18 now under his name. Aetna wants the check and is going to put it under her name of being paid back. However, the son will have to pay the taxes she already paid out of work disability. The insurance company refuses to state he is the one returning the money so he will have to pay a lot of money in taxes (he works), Can they do this? It will look like she got double money while she paid back the money and the insurance company still has not sent her a W-2 nor will they in Janurary because it was paid by demand of them in the middle of the year. She is already suffering trying to pay for her meds and food. This insurance company seems to be making out on the pot of taxes to me. They should pay afterall they got the money. Can anyone advise her what to do. I know not about tax
