DWP Glitch Leaves Man Owed Thousands | Sheffield News

from Sheffield News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A man in Ipswich is being forced to repay £2,169 he never knew he’d received — a glitch in the DWP’s Universal Credit system sent him the cash for a whole year. Despite trying to alert officials, he’s now drowning in debt while struggling to make ends meet. He’s furious the government won’t fix the broken system — instead, he’s being asked to pay for its mistakes. The DWP says they offer repayment plans and claim overpayments are at their lowest since the pandemic — but for Frederick, it’s a nightmare he didn’t ask for.
