Whether there's an overpayment for UC will depend when the CA is paid from. If you cancel the CA there may not be any overpayment, if no payments have been made.

In principle that is correct. What may happen is that you will actually be paid the CA and then UC will record an overpayment which will have to paid back but the net affect is the same.Cheryl2022 said:In theory it won't mean i will
