Session Details

An overpayment can occur when a claimant receives more money in their benefit award than what they should have been paid.

In this Lunch and Learn, advisers can learn about the reasons why an overpayment of Carer’s Allowance can occur and what can be done to help claimant’s who either find themselves in this situation or are looking to avoid this occurring in the future.
