Debt Management Re-payment plan

horizons

Hi, My mother has been sent a letter saying that her mother was overpaid a sum amount while she was alive. Becuase she (Her mother) went into hospital and didnt tell DWP. Anyway to cut a long story short. The amount is not huge and My mother wants to set up a re-payment plan with the DWP Debt Management team. Will the DWP Debt Management team want to see bank statments and other documents to set up the re-payment plan? Or will the DWP Debt Management team and My mother just agree on a monthly amount that she can afford. She does get Pension credit, only a few hundred per month. Thanks

Hi,

I'm sorry to see that you deleted your reply because it would have been extremely helpful to the person needing some help. Is there any reason why you deleted it? I was going to thank you but got side tracked and just came back to say the thanks when it's gone.

Hello @horizons

You might find this page helpful on repaying benefits after somebody has passed away.

It mentions that you might need to provide bank statements that provide information about the person who passed away's assets, but they say it's something that you discuss by giving them a call.

The phone number should be on any letter you've received about the situation.

Hi @horizons How are you getting on with this? Are you clearer about it now?

We are coming up with certain documents that hopefully should resolve it. I will update once we have more info. Kinda in limbo right now. But we will be fighting the so called ''debt'' and will not be giving in that easy

Do let us know how you get on.
