AMENDED OPINION
NOONAN, Circuit Judge.
OPINION
Domingo Alexander petitions for review of a decision of the Benefits Review Board (the BRB) of the Department of Labor. The question presented is whether settlements he made with others of his employers should be credited against the amount owed by the last responsible employer, Triple A Machine Shop (Triple A). Holding that denial of the credit is compelled by the purposes of the credit doctrine and 33 U.S.C. § 903(e) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (the LHWCA), we reverse the BRB and deny Triple A the credit.
