Overpaid sick leave - can't afford to pay it back

If you receive a letter asking for the overpayment, do nothing.
Wait for the court action (if they bother) , then explain the problem. I doubt they would win a case like that as you were certified sick. I think the courts will take a dim view of this, since you have no rights and the issue could be taken as opportunistic.
I don't believe it would goto court but if say the employer did everything by the book but did overpay sickpay then they would be entitled to claim it back so regardless of the courts view they would win.Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked0
