Tell them that your wife has died and to direct their claim to the executor. You are ot responsible for someone else's debt

Hi Salah77

Sorry for your loss.

The over payment wasn't made to you. You weren't taken to court. Your late wife was responsible for the repayment.

Here's some information - https://www.gov.uk/benefit-overpayme...meone-has-died

You need to contact the welfare officer at your local council or your local CAB office.
