Help - Wrongly credited JSA, What to do?

Hi All
Long time lurker and first time poster.
To keep it short about a year ago I was out of work and applied for jsa, didn’t qualify and then managed to get work. I forgot all about it until I checked my bank account today.
I think I have just been credited with JSA, the code on my statement is DWP JSA BGC, I have put the money aside and want to repay it.
Any tips on who to contact? I have tried calling the main dwp number but can’t get through.
I had a nightmare trying to initially claim the JSA and have a feeling that trying to pay it back is going to be a real pain in the butt.

Drop by the Job Centre & ask them what the payment is for. Assuming they sent it in error, you can repay it by cash, cheque or postal order at the Job Centre. But if it's an "official error" on their part you're not obliged to repay it at all.I no longer contribute to the Benefits & Tax Credits forum.0

Might it be a tax rebate for the time you tried to claim for ? A call to the processing office on Monday will help sort it out."I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0
