Hello Mrkakaka and welcome to Legal Beagles.

From what you have posted, I feel it would be wise for you to contact CAB and ask them to advise you as to what course of action you should take. This is especially important if it appears the DWP have made errors, which they do make from time to time.

One thing most CAB's are competent in is benefits. They will not claw back everything at once. If you are on benefits it will be done at the rate of I think £5 per week, and £2.50 if you are already having deductions made.

Do you have solid proof to back up what you say in your initial post?
