Housing benefit Mortgage Interest overpaymet

These are not overpayments.
The DWP use their own procedures to calculate the amount of MI benefit.
This has no legal (or moral) bearing on the amount your lender requires.
The DWP cannot take the money back, they have no legal grounds.
The excess payments will be short lived as the economy recovers and the Chancellor removes the cotton wool from all the home owners who are now in difficulty due to spending beyond their means, Boo Hoo.
Your lender has probably stopped paying the excess back to you, claiming CML/DWP/GOV has told them. Rubbish!!!, It's all lies because they want to keep the overpayment. I am threatning my lender with court action if they don't refund me.
YES I WANT IT - YES I AM KEEPING IT - YES I WANT A PLASMA LIKE ALL THE COTTON WOOL BUDS HAVE ALREADY
I'm confused - is the poster calling themselves a 'cotton wool bud', or just being hypocritical?
Gone ... or have I?0
