Pip been stopped. Any advice?

Thanks. I agree and from my point of view can only evidence cases that I am aware of. I have good knowledge of three such cases that all ended up in Crown Court where the accused either failed to find a WRO or did not put much effort into finding one. All had legal representation via legal aid with two of them having barristers that could not attend court so ended up with an 'unknown' representative.
All pleaded guilty on the advice of their barrister and all three received suspended prison terms as well as an order to repay what the DWP had calculated.
Whether the convictions as well as the mitigation could have been handled better I have no idea, but following the hearing one of the cases ended up at a Tribunal where the overpayment was deemed not collectible due to health issues. This decision did not affect the order that was made by the Court. The original overpayment still stood to be paid into court.
