answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has a duty to protect public funds and an obligation to ensure that, where it is permitted under social security legislation, any overpayment of benefit resulting from claimant error, fraud, or in the case of Universal Credit, official error, is recovered.</p><p> </p><p>For fraud overpayments, the maximum deduction rate is 40% of the appropriate Universal Credit standard allowance.</p><p> </p><p>In all other cases, the maximum deduction rate is 15% of the appropriate Universal Credit standard allowance.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>However, these are maximum rates and if an individual has multiple debts, for example utility or rent arrears, we will look to recover ‘in parallel’ in line with the overall priority order of deductions.</p><p> </p><p>If a claimant is having difficulty repaying a benefit overpayment they can request a reconsideration of the amount that is being taken. Any reduction will be based on the individual circumstances of the claimant rather than the amount of the overpayment, which helps to ensure that a sustainable repayment plan based on affordability is put in place.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 08/05/2018 14:51:55 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
