Love these threads. People can make medical diagnoses just on what people post.

The people who spend 5+ years at uni followed by a few years experience in a medical institution must be really envious of your abilities.

i love these threads too , where a tongue in cheek remark is a far greater offence than giving the totally wrong information

And you clearly suffer from sense of humour failure

So records may only go back a couple of years,if that was the case would getting bank statements be ok,that would prove what benefits I was on and how much I was getting.

You need to follow Epitome's advice in post 10.

You would not only need proof of your benefit awards for the last 20 years or so but also for your late father.

No, your bank statements will be useless, because the DWP needs to establish what benefits you and your father had, what components they were made up from, and what components were therfore missing. Your bank statements are simply the net benefit you were paid, they do not indicate what your gross benefit was and how that gross figure was arrived at. Only the DWP will have this information, and much of it will now be lost in to history.

Funny though when it's the other way around Dwp can take money back they have no time limit.

That's not true. Equally, if the DWP thought there had been an overpayment they would have to prove this by looking in the records that they hold. If they cannot prove it they write it off as "insufficient data" and they only go back to a "safe date" where they can prove the overpayment. If you challenge the DWP on an historical overpayment they have to prove that due diligence was used to come to the amount of overpayment.
