Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the maximum amount that the Department for Work and Pensions is seeking to recover from any individual recipient of carer's allowance as a result of overpayment of that allowance; and whether there is any cap on the total amount sought.

It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.
