    Thanks for this.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.
    What about retirement pensions, DLA, PIPs and AA?
    I think for all of those an overpayment would not be recoverable if due to official error.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    For those benefits, an overpayment definitely isn't recoverable if due to an official error.
