An overpayment of Housing Benefit occurs when we pay you, or your landlord, an amount of Housing Benefit that you are not entitled to receive.
If you still receive Housing Benefit, we will reduce your payments at a set rate until the money is paid back in full.
If you no longer receive Housing Benefit, we will send you an invoice for the full amount you owe. If you are unable to pay the amount in full, you can request a payment arrangement.
