You'll be unsurprised that the Department of Work & Pensions is still sending demands out for repayment of 'overpayment' of carers allowance even after Govt. commitments to reform the system & review/reassess all cases, based on Liz Sayce's caustic review of the DWP's actions against carers.

Once again the DWP's inhumanity is on show but this time its hard to mount the defence they're only doing the Minister's bidding as the Govt. is explicitly not asking for this!
