    If, as you state in your OP, you received a letter saying that your payment will be reduced by £25pw, it looks like they are already clawing back the over-payment
    the figures don't match with that.

    the OP receives £156 a week in pensions.
    anything over £85 reduces conts ESA by 50 for every £ over that amount.

    the OP should already be having her ESA reduced by £35 a week without even addressing the overpayment.

    she really needs to talk to the FWP to make sure they are using the correct figures as it doesn't tally
