Benefit overpayments
Our Revenues and Benefits Service has a duty to safeguard public funds and will normally seek to recover any Benefit overpayments that occur.
An overpayment is recoverable from either the person who has caused the overpayment, or the person who has received the benefit.
To avoid overpayments, you must report all changes to the Benefit Service as soon as they occur.
