It is important you tell us if your circumstances change in any way as we don't want to pay you too much as you may have to pay it back.

If we do pay you too much, we will send you a letter which will tell you:

  • the reason we paid you too much Benefit/Support
  • how much the overpayment is, and when it happened
  • if you have to pay back the amount
  • how you can appeal if you think the decision is wrong
