The Trustee keeps anything that is not exempt. If your settlement is part of the bk, and is not exempt, it will be used to pay off your creditors.

Will bankruptcy trustee take pain and suffering settlement?

When in a chapter 13 bankruptcy for more than 4 years and receiving money for a 100 percent disability that happened after filing bankruptcy can bankruptcy take the settlement?
"Bankruptcy" does not take anything. The Chapter 13 Trustee is the one who "takes" anything there is to be taken. And, no, your settlement - if you mean a retroactive check for disability (SSDI) - is not available to the trustee. If you are talking about a settlement of a lawsuit, probably not, unless the cause of action existed at the time you filed the c. 13 and did not exempt any possible award. Talk to your bankruptcy lawyer.
Can a trustee in a chapter 7 bankruptcy filed prior to 2005 force a settlement of a personal injury lawsuit?

Yes. For 3 years. They do not take it all. You will get to keep your EIC and certain other credits that may be given that year. This is per my bankruptcy lawyer.
If you filed bankruptcy in Dec of 2004 can you get your refund that has already been taken for 2002?
No, the IRS will get to keep it. And, even if you could get it back, the bankruptcy trustee would probably take it to distribute to your creditors.
