JSA and overpayment.

Yesterday JSA was mistakenly paid twice by my JCP by way of a faster payment.
Work coach phoned me and he asked me to check my account to confirm it had been paid twice, it had been.
Obviously it has to be paid back, so can I whip down the job centre and just pay it to them in cash or does it have to be a cheque?

    Surely the best option is to either ask them.


    Or simply suggest they skip the payment in two weeks time? (assuming you can budget)

    Just wait until they come back to you but in the meantime make sure you don't spend it.
