Hounslow Council


Benefits Overpayments

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.

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.

You can refund your benefit overpayments online:
