perhaps he was getting carers plus an income topup. I claim carers for my wife and used to get just over 100 per week

My thoughts are that the wife could be claiming ESA as well but this could be contributions based.

Hi to every one. rang this morning see if there was any news. There said it goes to another department. He says there have all the paper work in just not made any decision yet . i told him i got all the paper work off you and states my wages were well over. 6 wages slips stated that. He said it might have taken off other wage slips i said why ask for the last 6 . i said what would happen when there come to a decision He said a repayment plan or if cant pay that amount there would prob wright it off and fine me but no court action . Why do i not believe it

Hi ihad my upper appeal bit i dont understand when there said in a letter   Notwithstanding this decision it is a matter for the Respondent whether or not it seeks recovery of the overpayment.

Wow, 4 years plus between posts.

(I haven't read the 4-pages from 2020).

You don't say what the Upper Tribunal decision was but the phrase

"Notwithstanding this decision it is a matter for the Respondent whether or not it seeks recovery of the overpayment"

sounds like their ruling went against you - although they thought that the DWP probably should not chase repayment.

Of course the DWP may think differently.
