Hi, I am new to this website just having logged in three minuets ago,
My dear old mother in law of 96 years has just passed away. Guess what apparently in October 2003 she was issued with pension credits. Two days before her funeral I get a letter as her executor that the DWP want 14,000plus as it appears she should not have received it .
She would have been 80 years old when it was given and would not have given it any thought apart from thankyou. They let her collect it for eleven and a half years with no problem another five months and it would have come under the limitation act 1980. My question is has anybody else had the problem as the estate comes nowhere near this figure andshe cannot be the only pensioner in the UK that has been caught in this predicament due to the incompetence
of the DWP. Any answers
