Council Tax Benefit - Overpayments
When we give you too much benefit, we call it an ‘overpayment’. If we give you too much benefit, we will send you a letter.
The letter we send you will tell you:
- why we gave you too much benefit
- how much the overpayment is
- if you have to pay back the amount
- how you can appeal if you think this is wrong
In most cases we will send you a revised Council Tax bill, and you will usually have to pay more Council Tax.
If you have any queries about this or would like more information please contact the Benefits Unit.
