Job Grant Paid In Error

mattandsamwileman

I had a phone call a couple of days ago telling me of a system error and a Job Grant Payment has been sent to me, and could I send it back. This is the third giro I have had to send back as they continued to send me income support payments for a month after I told them I started work.

But after reading the news today http://latestnews.virginmedia.com/news/uk/2010/11/25/1bn_benefit_staff_errors_slammed

and in paticular this bit.

Most of the overpayments have to be written off under social security law. And the actual cost to the public purse is much higher as that does not include money devoted to putting the situation right, the NAO noted.

Do I have to send it back?

Do you really need someone to tell the answer? How about you run this scenario past your new employer, see if they still want to keep you on given your problems with money and morality?

That's abit uncalled for. I was only asking a question and as I sent the other two back it would seem I have some morals.
