DWP old overpayment and state pension
wainright
Posts: 21 Forumite
Hi folks
In a nutshell, I have an DWP Income support overpayment from several years ago. I have been unable to afford to repay the amount, but understand they are able to take any overpayment from State pension when you are due to receive it, is this correct? and generally do they take a large amount from the pension? I haven't been in a financial position to repay the debt ( it is around £700 ) but will be able to when eligible for pension in Sept. Can anyone offer advice please.

You can speak to DWP Debt Management about the likely repayment schedule.
