Just copied this from the website I talked about - you did everything you could to make sure the awards were correct ie inform them of your benefit ceasing/new job and checking your awards, which as far as you were aware were correct as they had your and your husbands earnings on with no mention of the previously awarded benefit. It does state in their policy (Inland Revenue) that if the overpayment was as a result of a mistake on their part and you could not reasonably have been aware of this then they wll not force you to repay it but will write it off.

QUOTE FROM WEBSITE:

Request to Reconsider Recovery (RRR): Sometimes called a Dispute. This is the usual route to use when you are contesting Overpayment claims. With this route you are ‘asking’ HMRC / TCO to write off the overpayment bill on the grounds that you could not be expected to know the award payments were wrong. Usually this involves highlighting the mistakes made on their part, which made your claim so difficult to follow that you didn’t know or understand what payments you were supposed to be receiving.
