Responsibility for repaying the overpayment
Before you received direct payments of your tenant’s entitlement, we asked you to sign an agreement to repay any Housing Benefit paid in error. This means we can, if relevant, recover an overpayment from you.

- amounts
- reason for overpayment
If you do not agree with this decision, you have one calendar month from the date of the notification to appeal -
