Council Tax Benefit - Overpayments


When we give you too much benefit, we call it an 'overpayment'. If we give you too much benefit, we will send you a letter.

The letter we send you will tell you:-

  • the period the overpayment relates to 
  • how much the overpayment is
  • if you have to pay back the amount
  • how you can appeal if you think this is wrong

In most cases we will send you a revised Council Tax bill, and you will usually have to pay more Council Tax.
