Repaying overpaid UC

2 replies

Guardiansofthegalaxi · 15/03/2023 17:48

I split with DH last year and went on to claim UC, as I am a full time student. During the summer, there were several incorrect calculations due to them not understanding how to include my student loan as income. There was an overpayment of approximately £850, and I have been repaying £50 a month via a deduction from my monthly UC amount. DH and I have now reconciled and we will be moving to a new house together. Therefore, I will need to stop my UC claim. Is anybody able to explain how I go about repaying the remainder of the overpayment? Will I need to make a lump sum payment (roughly £500) or will I continue to repay £50 a month? Thank you

Citizens advice can support with this :)

They write to you sometime after your uc claim closes with their repayment department details, you call them and set up an affordable DD.
I came off UC in the last year and had advances to pay back and this was my experience.
