Told I owe money back on my benefits (update)

Nadia Marchetti · 2026-06-07T07:00:16.931Z

After 19 weeks of benefits I got a notice saying I must repay some of it. I cannot afford to repay it all at once. Who should I talk to first?

Read the letter for the appeal deadline and act on it, even if you think you will end up repaying. Then ask about a payment plan.

If you are unsure, free legal aid in your area may help for this kind of notice.
