Hi,

 

My wife has been hit with an overpayment from DWP carers allowance and is unable to repay the debt straight away.

She receives currently £77 /week ESA and is also suffering I’ll health awaiting an operation.

I have read in a few places online that the DWP can only use her personal income to make a repayment plan and the minimum is approx £10/week, could anyone confirm if this is correct please ?

 

As a couple we are also repaying a tax credit overpayment which we have asked to be written off as we really didn’t understand how it happened nor how it ended up being so high a sum but after 4 weeks we have heard nothing from the request.

 

My fear is that the DWP will ask for a repayment of the Carers allowance at a weekly payment that is too high considering the current crisis that people are suffering in the UK.

 

Could anyone advise on the above and the best way forward please?

goto their site and fill out their SAR.

they must hold data to prove you were overpaid on either, not just a note from an external audit agency, which they often used to scan accounts.
