Overpayment of housing benefit or council tax support

What if the overpayment is not my fault?

Please note that even if the overpayment of benefit was not your fault, you may still be required to repay the overpayment if the council could reasonably expect you to know that you were being overpaid, for example, you moved out of the property.

Can I appeal against an overpayment?

Yes you can appeal against an overpayment of benefit. Please see about how to appeal for more information.
