http://www.rightsnet.org.uk/welfare-rights/news/item/more-than-19-million-in-universal-credit-official-error-overpayments-recovered-in-2018-2019

I have updated the judicial review pre-action protocol letters on UC overpayment recovery to beef references to the Treasury Guidance. There are new versions of:

JR60 Failure to exercise discretion not to recover an overpayment of UC housing costs, and
JR61 Failure to exercise discretion not to recover an overpayment of UC

Available here: cpag.org.uk/welfare-rights/judicial-review/judicial-review-pre-action-letters/overpayment-recovery-uc

At least 10% of those overpayments waived used JR60 or JR61 (ie. definitely 1 of the 10, maybe more?).

Please let me know how it goes .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
