Hi I'm due a backdated payment from pip
Do they take off money owed, as I had an advance payment when I applied for universal credit which I'm still paying back plus I have 2 old budgeting loans outstanding which I'm currently paying I spoke to dwp yesterday and the said my backdated payment was processing and was with management because of the amount it needs a higher level authorisation
Any help would be appreciated

    Usually it will then go to debt management and any old debts repaid from it before you get the balance.
    The good news being that at least the debts will have been repaid.

    Thanks for your response, I'd prefer if they did that one less thing to worry about and I'd have no more deductions
