'I went to Barbados on Universal Credit - now DWP are forcing me to pay back £5,000'
A woman from Ipswich has been ordered to repay over £5,000 to the Department for Work and Pensions ( DWP) after receiving Universal Credit payments she was mistakenly told she was entitled to. Yvonne Buckley, 58, told BBC Suffolk she was overpaid between November 2021 and August 2023 due to an "incorrect payment of housing costs."
