East Riding of Yorkshire Council Overpayments - Part 3

[Big Boss Man]

The saga continues, i have now received a third notification that i have been paid a further overpayment of Housing and Council Tax benefit !

 

This is despite notifying the Local Authority of a change in income, another appeal is now logged and progressing, update to follow shortly.

Is yours a "5 star" council???? If not they deserve to be on apparent incompetence:):):)

UPDATE - TRIBUNAL WON..

 

Sorry for the delay in updating the thread, this whole matter has caused me to suffer from serious health issues.

 

My appeal has now passed through the Tribunal Service, the judge heard all the evidence and informed me that my appeal had been succedfull, he stated that i had done everything in my control to prevent the opverpayment and i was not aware the overpayment had occured untill notified.

 

He also critised the LA of not doing anything to stop overpayments as this was the third appeal i had attended.

 

There was an extremley low amount of tax credit relating to this overpayment, that i would have to pay back apparently, but the main amount has now been written off.

 

Thanks for all your help with this and other threads.
