Just looking for some advice please, I thought they could only claim money back up to 6 years, same as us with bank charges etc, whereas this is from 11 years ago without hearing from them until now, and 19 years ago that the overpayment was made, any advice appreciated please.ut the DWP are still allowed to make deductions from your benefit for a debt over six years old as they don't need to go to court to do this. This applies to overpayments of benefit such as Income Support, Jobseeker's Allowance, Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit and paying back social fund loans.
