The CAA website and ex-EU equivalent says that if you were checked in but then denied boarding, you essentially have the option of compensation or being rescheduled onto another service or rerouted. I understand the inconvenience but what are you looking to be compensated for exactly if you were moved to a different flight which you accepted.
As soon as you have chosen one of these three options, you no longer have rights in relation to the other two options. However, the airline may still have to provide compensation depending on the distance of your flight and the length of the delay past your original planned arrival time.
