Housing Benefit and reinstated ESA

Hi, thanks to the help I receive from the guides on here I successfully appealed my ESA decision and was placed into the support group. this means I have received over £ 2000 back payment. while I was not receiving any money I claimed Housing benefit, obviously I have now stopped this, but my question is, as I have received all this back payment, will I have to pay back the housing benefit I received?

Hi D,

Well done on being placed into The SG at your appeal !!!

I am afraid that we do not give advice on HB, it would depend on your personal circumstances, which obviously cannot be discussed on an open forum

My best advice would be to contact CAB or some similar advice agency, see :

Where to get advice?

Or put Welfare Rights/Advice with your Town/Postcode into you Internet search engine.
