in Benefits & tax credits
Hello, I have got just an unexpected payment of 63 £ from dwp. In my bank statement, it is saying:  my NINO and then DWP RFD.  Do someone has an idea what it could be? Got someone the same kind of payment? RFD could mean maybe refund or reason for decision? I am on universal credit and didnt apply for anything else, so really not sure what it could be... Probably I will give them call later as I am curious :) Thanks.

    If you have had a refund for an underpayment on UC, there should be a note in your journal on your online account advising you of the amount and reasons.

    There is nothing in my UC journal at all.

    Ring them up and they should clarify.

    On your UC claim, if there is no letter in your journal, have a look at the payments section statements showing on your claim.  Do the statements show an amount, different to what they originally credited to your Bank on the original payment date ?
    If UC issues an underpayment refund, they normally update the statements on the claim.


    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    Not very intuitive for the claimant is it!
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
