Hi , I hope you’re be able to advise me please.
I’m awaiting a capability assessment , and recently submitted bank statements etc as a review for UC . Apparently i have gone slightly over the lower limit of savings etc
UC have now sent me a letter stating that I did not declare this at the time .
I don’t check my accounts all the time So now I have to explain the reason why and how to correct my error !
This was a genuine mistake on my part which I have explained and stated I will pay back any money owed if overpaid.
However the address I have on the letter is a free post one so not entirely sure if I should send a formal letter there ?
I have already updated my journal with the reasons and asked for them to respond ref correct address
As yet I haven’t had a response so it’s stressing me out some what .
I could also face payment of a Civil fine of £50
Has anyone experienced this at all . I’m still trying to recover from injuries that I have sustained from work due to my job being to physical for me . I cannot return to my role .
I’m finding navigating UC challenging, supplying sick notes alongside numerous phone calls from my work coach.
I took a voluntary career break from work as I was too unwell to continue and I’m not any further along with my health. Waiting for various appointments, and coping with several issues at once
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.
