Mr Clappison received the news on Monday in a letter from Sir Thomas Legg, the former civil servant who has been appointed to review MPs affairs in the wake of this summer's expenses scandal.
In his letter, Sir Thomas informs the shadow work and pensions minister that he does NOT have to pay back any of the expenses he has claimed.
He also makes it clear that Mr Clappison does not need to provide any further details about his claims.
