Housing benefit overpayments
What happens when we find an overpayment has been made?
We will do the following:
- identify the period, amount, and cause of the overpayment
- decide if the overpayment is legally recoverable
- decide whether to recover the overpayment
- decide who to recover the overpayment from
- we will write to you with the details
