Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

before anyone can assist, we would need more info,

 

Did you know you had received this overpayment?

Had you told the DWP everything regarding income?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thank you for prompt reply,.

 

i had a letter from dwp stating i had had an overpayment from 5/5/2012 until 21/1/2013 approx £2700

 

i called dwp they will not discuss the matter at all, but i must appeal.

 

as far as i believe i have not been overpaid.... but a decision maker says i have ?

 

just don't know what to do or say?

 

dwp were aware of all monies in my account, my income etc

I think you would need to write and ask how this overpayment arrived. There is no set letter to use as your circumstances would be different to others.

 

Once your appeal is received, they should halt recovery action whilst this is being investigated.

 

You are unaware of any reason why you have been overpaid and (as far as you know) you have supplied them with any change of circumstances.

 

best I can offer. Hopefully others will be able to assist

Write a letter requesting a full explanation as to the cause of the overpayment, explaining that you provided all requested information for the claim. In the same letter also request that they do a reconsideration of their decision.

 

 

Depending on what the result is, you can then decide whether you need to go ahead with an appeal.

 

 

If you provided all the relevant information and the overpayment is a result of official error, then the overpayment is not repayable under social security law - but we'll get to that when you get the response from your letter.
