I'm very worried about if they will take my home, I always lived with my mum. I received a payment £1250 from dwp, when I spoke with the adviser, was concerned about this and she assured me that they wouldn't sale my home. I'm very willing to repay the loan in installments, receiving ESA at the moment, would increase payments once I'm working again. I just don't know if they will agree to this.

Thanks, yes the house is in my mum's name. I have made a probate application, it's been quite a protracted process

Hi Please can you help me, my mum passed away in July. I could not afford funeral costs, received a payment from social fund. Have recently received a letter requesting repayment, I'm so worried that they will force me to sale our house, have always lived with my mum. I am in the process of applying for probate, its taken sometime to get things sorted haven't felt like doing very much, not coping very well. There are so many issues I'm concerned about,receiving ESA at the moment, there was a shortfall in the funeral cost,the funeral home have been kind allowed me to pay installment, won't take long to clear. It's been very difficult time have no family or friends that I would feel comfortable talking to about these concerns. I 'm willing to repay the full amount to dwp, was considering offering to pay regular installments, increasing the amounts when I'm working again, not sure if that would be acceptable. hope someone can help Thanks Shaun
