Hi,

Does anyone know the cross linking rules regarding overpayments to UC?

If your circumstances change and owe debt to UC but at later date you decide to start a new claim under the same benefit will you be declined instantly due to existing debt or will they give you a reduced new UC claim paying off the debt of the old one?

Thanks.

you need to read Cop26

a claim doesn't get refused because you have an existing overpayment no.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Good. Do they link it to your previous claim or is it a complete fresh no claim and history doesn't count?

 

I heard they can deduct a percentage of your new claim against the old one unsure if UC rules on this? They are not allowed to claim over a certain percentage?

Yes your previous UC claim details will be shown.   They know because when you validate your ID for the new claim , the National Insurance number check will reveal the previous claim and history of advances, overpayments etc.  Therefore  although the claim might register, they probably won't offer any more advances.  And you will have to repay debts such as advances, overpayments,  fines ect as a deduction of up to 30% of the standard allowance amount.

 

DWP have tightened up their processes, as some people were taking the p*ss and trying to obtain multiple advances, without any intention of ever continuing a claim, searching for work or increase current work earnings.

 

Not saying that you would do anything wrong or are suggesting doing so.  But those who have  done so previously, are now facing actions being taken against.  There is an urban myth that if someone deliberately sc*ms the system, that they will just have to repay the amount, plus an admin penalty. This is not the case,  as if there is any fraudulent action found, they could opt to go down the prosecution route.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

So, when these people who took several advances and their claim closed down would that mean they would be exempt for paying the debt back? or would it go through a debt collection agency or court? Or could you settle a deal with the DWP

 

I've never had an advance payment so how does that work when we were in dispute about a payment with the old claim.
