BR & Tax credits overpayment

Hi all
After some advice please.
Large tax credit overpayment for 2015/6 has been included in my BR. Was joint but husband declared BR April 2018 (have taken ages to save my fees)
We have been paying back at rate of 50% of weekly entitlement.
Am i right in thinking now we have both been approved as BR, they cant take this any more and i should recieve 100% of entitlement each week?
Do i need to call them or will this be automatic from the letter they receive from OR? if payments continue for a while due to backlog will i get them paid back from date of BR?
Thanks

To my knowledge overpayments are included so long as there is no fraud involved. If you were considered to have claimed the benefit fraudulently, they I don't believe it is included.0

No fraud, thankfully. Just a genuine overpayment accrued over 2 tax years due to many changes during this time (mat leave, childcare, reduced hours, increased hours & husband lost job! No surprise it all resulted in overpayment to be honest!) Thank you 0
