ESA overpayment please advise

marliepanda

You will have to pay it back, just because it won't be deducted from your ESA doesnt mean you'll stop having to pay it.

Youre saying youre going to have no money. You have a partner on 50k and child benefits. You do have money, just because you don't want to spend it on paying back ESA won't mean it will no longer be asked for.

1. You could reapply for PIP
2. You are getting child benefit and other child related benefits. You fraudulently claimed benefits, so you will have to use some of those benefits to make ends meet
3. You could try some part time work again like you did before
4. Your new partner could help you financially, as is expected of a couple.

If the OP moves in with her partner then she won't be able to claim ESA, therefore there would be no permitted to to do.

If she moved in with her partner she could still work at her part time job, No ESA I know but her employment could continue

You are still not reading what I have put and what my overall question was on ESA and that is if I move in with my partner and therefore won’t be entitled to any benefits or even my sickness benefit what happens to the overpayment I owe on ESA as I won’t be entitled to any benefits and I can’t currently work so therefore I will not be getting any money so what happens to the ESA overpayment???? Will they hold it until I’m fit to work and then I resume paying it off??
How can I make my question any simpler???

You have been told many times by myself and others that if you move in with your partner then he's meant to support you!!! Meaning any overpayments can be taken from his wages all you need to do is ring DWP to arrange to repay it this way because you will be a couple!! I think you should calm down because people have tried to help you here and you're just getting even more angry!

Like I have said just because my partner earns £50k it’s not enough to pay the rent, household bills, his debts, my children including food on the table for them, dinner money, clothes, school uniform, school shoes, or kit, other shoes and other normal household items!!! His money will be gone having to pay for all of hay leaving nothing to pay off debts I was left with from a domestically abuse exchange marriage which includes two credit cards and the ESA overpayment!!!
At NO stage have I EVER said I don’t want to pay it, for God’s sake it was me who told ESA what I had done in order to put it right!!! But I can’t help the fact that I am unfit for work and told by hospital and GP not to work and to rest until they get on top of my illn as,, then I will happily go back out to work as I actually like working!!
You are all so angry aggressive and blinkered, I apologised for what I done, I’m paying it back and will continue to pay it back but all I was asking was if anyone knew in the meantime how I pay it back when I’m currently sick, unable to work and considering moving in with my partner where I will then get no benefits!
I wish I hadn’t posted on this site as all everyone wants to do is be nasty and aggressive and god help me for having a partner who earns £50k wow what a sin!!!!

As also stated previously you could try again to claim PIP as it's not about a diagnosis, it's about how your condtions affect you daily. Yes i know you've been refused before but no harm in trying again and this time take the MR and Tribunal route if you're refused.

Sorry but you don't get points for telling ESA you were committing fraud... Its not a 'hooray for you' thing. You don't deserve credit for it...

And sorry but the answer is simply, tough.

You are blinkered in thinking that it will just go on hold whilst you live with your partner because he has loads of stuff to pay for. Again, tough!

You committed fraud. They can take you to court to get it back. Will your partner stand by and see that, or will he help you?

That’s fine then I will stay in my rented house with my children and carry on claiming benefits. Thank you all for your kind advice, for God’s sake please don’t any of you join the Samaritans as there would be a lot of people commiting suicide!

The debt if unpaid would be then passed to a debt agency by the DWP and they would pursue it as normal if you moved in with your partner and stopped paying it back Nobody can tell you to move in or stay where you are, you know best and what suits you, your decision.
