What will happen if you are overpaid benefit?

We will establish the reason for the overpayment and will normally seek recovery of the overpaid amount from you. 

If we discover that the overpayment is because you have deliberately failed to disclose information, or report a change in circumstances to us in time, we will also consider taking sanctions action against you.
