Council Tax - benefit - ovepayments

Where a claimant has been provided with a benefit greater than that to which they are entitled, the Council is required to inform the claimant and where necessary seek to recover the overpayment by issuing a revised council tax bill.

_____________________________________________________________________

How will I know if I have got an overpayment?

We will write to you. In the letter you receive from us, we will give you the full details of the overpayment. We will tell you;

What caused the overpayment;
The dates of the overpayment;
The amount of the overpayment;
What to do if you disagree with the overpayment.

How Is the overpayment recovered?

If you have been overpaid Council Tax Benefit, we will send you a new Council Tax bill, which will include any money you have been overpaid in the balance.
If you have a change of circumstances, don't forget to let us know as soon as possible. If we know beforehand, there is less chance of an overpayment.

Further details can be found in our reporting a change in circumstances leaflet.

If you need any further advice on Council Tax Benefit overpayments contact the Benefits Services on 01653 600666 or email benefits@ryedale.gov.uk.
