UC overpayment - DWP error

Hi,
I'm a full time carer for my autistic son and receiving carer allowance. Last month DWP has made an error and overpaid my UC (they didn't deduct the carer allowance as usual). I have contacted them and they want to review my claim. I've submitted all the documents (bank statements, id) they requested. I supposed to have a phone interview yesterday which they cancelled the last minute, no new date given yet.
My circumstances haven't changed. I'm aware I have to pay back the overpayment and have no problem with that. I'm really worried my UC will be suspended while they're reviewing it.
I'm just wondering if anybody has experienced similar situation? Will you still get your UC on your usual payment date?
Please advise.
Many thanks.

These are standard reviews that millions of people are having.
Unless something is picked up during your review (like undeclared capital over £16k) then your payments carry on as normal.0
