just had letter

I have just had a letter telling me I owe £50 to them, I get a pension of £438 a month and apart from pip and ESA nothing else. So how can I owe money. The letter was so scary if I don't get a reply to them by 19/8 they will stop it all again. I cant go through all of that again had to do a appeal in 2018 as it was all stopped in 2017. The stress is so much. Has anyone else had this happen to them.

What does the letter say? Does it state a reason or not? If not call them and ask.
They then adjust the ESA payments.
So as the pension goes up they take a bit off the benefit payments.
They should send you a letter each April or May to fill in and you also have to send them your new pension details which they check.
I've never had any problems with them but sometimes I get the DWP letter several weeks before my pension increase details !!
Have you rung them to see if this is correct? I'd definitely recommend doing this if not.
Please do let us know how you get on
