The Department for Work and Pensions has issued a warning
The Department for Work and Pensions has issued a warning to anyone who who has received an accidental cost of living payment. The government department has said those who were paid the money in error will have to pay it back.
The final payments were expected on July 4 though some may arrive later depending on special circumstances. This advisory from the DWP may be due to statistics published in the new ‘Fraud and Error in the benefits system’ report which estimates that £410 million in cost of living payments were overpaid during the 2022/23 financial year.
Overpayments relating to incorrectly paid low-income benefits accounted for around £9 in every £10 overpaid on cost of living payments, some £380 million. This was mostly due to £330 million of cost of living payments being overpaid to people incorrectly receiving Universal Credit. Qualifying period To be eligible for the automatic lump sum, claimants must have received a payment on April 1, 2023.
