Will the OR look upon this in a bad light!!

Hi All

Just been checking through all my paperwork and bank statements etc.

And I have noticed that for a recent period of just over a month, we was getting HB & Maternity Allowance. As the MA was due to finish, did not include it, when we was applying for HB.

I was told that our local council offices usually had a delay in processing new claims.

But when I have checked my statements, you can see the payment for HB and also for MA.

Would the OR realise, that I should not have received that amount!!! Will they think of it as fraud!!!

Getting really worried, that may look upon it as fraud!! And this was NOT the case!!

Just when I think, I as getting on top of things something else, comes along and gets me all worried. If going BR is not bad itself.

What do you think?
