An overpayment of a benefit happens when the benefit is paid to you which you are not entitled to.
If you have been overpaid benefit you will normally have to repay it. We will write and tell you when this happens.
We will tell you:
- why it has happened
- the period it covers
- the amount of overpayment
- whether or not you have to repay it
Housing Benefit overpayments are normally repaid by deductions from ongoing benefit or we may send you an invoice.
