This week the Department for Work and Pensions confirmed that it currently has 69,609 Carer's Allowance overpayments outstanding. The benefit is paid to more than 850,000 people. Money Box hears from George Henderson who cares for his adult son who has mental health and drug addiction problems. Mr Henderson says he was not aware that his earnings from his job with a taxi firm would impact on his entitlement to Carer's Allowance. Six years later DWP informed him that he'd been overpaid by 拢19,500. He was charged and found guilty of failing to disclose information to the DWP. In addition to a suspended sentence he has to pay the money, plus fines, back by February next year, or he'll face 7 months in prison. Mr Henderson also has a possession order on his home after it was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The DWP told Money Box it makes benefit claimants "aware of their responsibility to provide correct information and report any change in circumstance, to avoid receiving the wrong amount" and is "introducing new technology to make it easier to identify and prevent overpayments and improve debt recovery." Guests: DWP Committee member Ruth George MP and Emily Holzhausen, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at Carer's UK.
