Overpaid?
After meeting with cab person yesterday, she advised me me to tell them? that I have over £16,000 in my account...after ringing housing benefits they said if it was alright with works and pension it was alright with them, I rang works and pensions she asked me by how much.(down to the last penny)....my question is how do them take the money back....a fine... then direct debit? I have been in a bereavement fog since my partner/carter passed away last September .
Thanks in Advance. Roger

Could I just double check that the amount is savings and not a backpayment for benefit etc that has taken your savings over the £16,000 mark? They're treated differently so just want to be sure.
Which benefits are you currently claiming? PIP is not means tested so your savings won't be a problem for that.

Do you have a social worker or not?
Best of luck with your PIP appeal. Are CAB helping you with this?

The only benefits affected by savings are the 'means tested' ones. They're the ones you get because you're on a low income like housing benefit or income related ESA.
Just to reiterate what Poppy and Jurph have told you, it makes no difference that any overpayment hasn't been repaid to your PIP tribunal. They won't be interested in that and it doesn't affect your PIP claim in any way.
