Social Security Overpayments – Submission from St Clements parish

I am aware under my role as St Clement Community Support Co-ordinator that this does happen. I would say that I hear this about twice a year.

All of these cases inform me that they notified I.S about any change in their circumstances. However, I have no idea if they did or if this would have been an administrative error. When the parishioner has been notified that there had been an overpayment and that I.S. would be recouping (sometimes large amounts of money), they come asking for advice as to how they will manage.

I always direct these parishioners to C.A.B, who are the experts and are dealing with these concerns on a regular basis.

If I was exploring how many times this occurs, I would contact C.A.B.
