Carers allowance overpayments / repayments

Hi,

My name’s Kieran and I work at Sky News.

There was a story in the Independent yesterday about how some carers are being forced to pay back carers allowance they may have been inadvertently overpaid.

I am working on a story about this, and would like to hear from anyone this has happened to.

If this applies to you, and you would like to speak o us (on camera - though we can anonymise you), please get in touch.

My number is 0207 032 2100, and my email is kieran.tuner@sky.uk

Many thanks,
Kieran

All WE know as I type posted on that thread.

We cannot speak for CUK !

Plenty around on the forum threads to make your eyes really water … even question your own sanity … if you are somewhat inquisitive ?
