Overpayment on Universal Credit taken from my PIP was created by Cathie100
I have been awarded enhanced rate of mobility after the help from your website. Thank you! However, I was paying back DWP a weekly payment from my Universal Credit for Carers Overpayment. The back monies £1,110 I was awarded have been taken and paid towards these arrears. I now receive no back money! Can this be done? I am gutted as this would have helped me tremendously!

Hi Cathie
The short answer is yes they can.
Offsetting prior payment against subsequent award
3.17 This is covered by regulation 5 of the Social Security (Payments on Account, Overpayments and Recovery) Regulations 1988 and Regulation 16 of the Universal Credit Regulations (Overpayments and Recovery) 2013. www.gov.uk/government/publications/benef...yment-recovery-guide
