Overpayment of ESA was created by sincerelyred
I was informed of an overpayment and a civil penalty totalling over £1200, due to an occupational pension. Having been on Incapacity Benefit since 2001, my understanding was that it would be disregarded as part of the Transitional Protection till 2020.
I feel inclined to ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration
Anyone out there have any advice?
