💷 save the government £144m/yr. 1/2

This is a really positive step from @DWP. A number of people I'm supporting were on reduced benefit rates to make up for overpayments they received through no real fault of their own. Having that extra income during this period will make a big difference. Thanks for sharing Lee.
Due to #Coronavirus outbreak DWP are stopping recovery action on benefits overpayments, tax credit debts managed by DWP & social fund loans. Listen carefully to this DWP debt management call recording as SOME people may need to take action to cancel repayments 0800 916 0647 Opt3
