DWP UC overpayment due to retrospective ID reverification post Covid

JR120B

Use this template to challenge the DWP's decision to 'close your client's claim', ie, to revise the decision on their initial claim to refuse entitlement from the start of their award and to create an overpayment, due to your client's failure to provide ID evidence for 'reverification' when your client was awarded universal credit (UC) during Covid easements and your client is no longer in receipt of UC.

These letters are for advisers, not members of the public.

If you don't have an adviser, you may be able to find one at advicelocal.uk

We'll discuss your client's case with you and advise whether this pre-action letter is appropriate.

We can support you to complete the letter or help you draft your own.

If a pre-action letter is not appropriate, we'd still be happy to share templates with you if they would help you challenge the decision in a different way.
