Hi
I'm just checking here really, I've just had a letter from UC stating that we have been overpaid by £3248.00, due to my getting Carers Allowance, 9 months after my partner and I migrated from ESA to UC.
What I can't understand is that we made it clear that I was getting CA when we did the Migration, and now they have deducted £360 pm from us and want us to pay back the overpayment.
I know it sounds a bit daft but I can't remember how we did our claim, whether it was online or in the local office.
Also has anyone else had this sort of problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi rocco1504

Was the UC carer's element added to your monthly UC payments? You can find out from the UC Journal and the payment statement that is posted to the account 4 days prior to pay day.
