- DWP pursued woman’s employer for nonexistent ‘benefit debt’
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) pursued a woman's employer for a nonexistent 'benefit debt' despite a court ruling that she had nothing to pay. The woman provides full-time unpaid care for her elderly disabled mother. The DWP demanded her employer deduct the universal credit overpayment 'debt' from her salary.
