Council tax benefit - overpayments

Council Tax Benefit

When we give you too much benefit, we call it an 'overpayment'. If we give you too much benefit, we will send you a letter.

Service ID: 66
email: benefits@staffordbc.gov.uk
telephone: 01785 619478
sms: 07781 471023
fax: 01785 619219
complaints: welcome.asp?id=2505

The letter we send you will tell you:-

  • why we gave you too much benefit
  • how much the overpayment is
  • if you have to pay back the amount
  • how you can appeal if you think this is wrong

In most cases we will send you a revised Council Tax bill, and you will usually have to pay more Council Tax.
