Good morning 🌄, 
I have been waiting for my work capability asisment now since February last year. I finally got it and the rebate was 1.450 ? 
I only thought I owed £16 for a budgeting loan ? But I only received £150  is there anything I can do to challenge it ,? 
Because if I had been paid it when I was entitled to it (hate that word.) 
I would still only been paying the amount I was paying ? If that makes any sense lol

    Hi there 

    I would contact the debt management dept to find out what they have made the deduction for 9f you don't agree with the amount they have taken 

    Unfortunately if you do owe dwp then they can deduct any debt from backpay

    Because if I had been paid it when I was entitled to it (hate that word.) And I took right now another loan money 💸 via internet, I hope everything will be ok.

    I think that you need to contact debt manager to find out what have you done wrong and where you could get a support that will tell you how to fix this problem

    This thread is from 5 months ago so hopefully the person has now sorted out the issue.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
