At the risk of alarming you I am recommending that you get face to face advice as soon as you can. Receiving a payment of more than £16,000 will stop payment of any Income Related ESA that you are receiving.

If you did not immediately inform the DWP of the payment then this could be a big issue it will almost certainly change the view of the DWP in regard the money you have gifted to your family.

You need someone who can act on your behalf with regard to any correspondence that you receive from the DWP, I would recommend that you hold off replying to the DWP until you have spoken to someone. Do an internet search for "welfare advice" with your postcode, town or county.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

I informed them immediately when my husbands death benefit came to me so that isn't the problem. The problem is that I owed so much money to my sons and family as my husband had problems and now I have paid them back am going to be penalised for it. Am I best going to citizens advice or solicitor as I can't find any help in my area. I tried welfare advice and when I phoned it was for child protective services!!!!! Thanks for your help Jan
