    I think that we may getting somewhere.
    That does look like a one-off £50 Civil Penalty for (deliberately) failing to comply with the rules.
    I see that there is a deduction for savings there (-£34.80 I think it is) - Did you not report your savings? or report them incorrectly?
    None, or incorrect, reporting of relevant facts such as savings above £6K can lead to a £50 civil penalty being imposed.

    No, if it is a £50 DWP Civil Penalty, then DWP can impose that upon you under UC legislation. See the links I posted earlier in the thread.

  • Ok this month's statement has the following. I recognise the Tax Credit, also the dwp debt could possibly be carers allowance the dsp want from my mises after she went over a few quids in payment because she thought she was allowed the allowance plus travel expenses which she is not as an employee.
  • You can ask for payments to be reduced via debt recovery now a payment has been taken.
