Mandatory Reconsideration of UC Overpayment Decision

Hi there,

I have been waiting on a decision of my Mandatory Reconsideration of an alleged UC Overpayment for 12 weeks.

I keep ringing the helpline and checking my journal, but all anyone can tell me is that it is still with the Decision Maker team.

The stress this is causing is unbelievable and I am at a loss what to do. Any help would be appreciated 🙏

Many thanks

Thanks David,

Thanks David. Well, all it said in the original decision letter was that my "housing costs and transitional protection were not calculated correctly during the assessment periods 21/10/25 to 20/03/26." As far as I could tell, they were calculated correctly, but for some reason the DWP seem to think otherwise. I requested a Statement of Reasons at the same time as the Mandatory Reconsideration, which they have yet to give.
