    Just wondering, if there is a Jobseekers overpayment and you are now on a CE scheme, can they take the amount weekly from that? A family member got the letter in the door to say she owed money and before she could even appeal it, got another to say they are taking 15% of her payment if she is on one. She is on a CE scheme and can't afford to lose €50 per week.

    just call them up and explain that. I had an overpayment from years ago that i completely forgot about and when i got awarded da i got the same letter. Couldnt afford to be without over 30 euro a week so called and they without even question jsut dropped it right down to 5eur o a week.
    Apparently the 15% is an automated ting and iff you just calll them up they are happy enough to accept 5euro a week as at least you are paying it back

    Actually the 15% is the maximum allowable repayment ,but In a lot of cases they ask for it,

    Don't understand why people would choose to drag repayments over years ,

    You might extend the period over a number of months because you simply can't afford to pay any other way etc..

    Just to confirm, they can take it from CE.

    That's all I needed to know. It isn't a correctly calculated overpayment, so she's fighting that case.

    Actually, in the cold light of day, I suspect my previous answer may be wrong. CE is fairly different from everythng else.
    I'm not 100% sure either way. Apologies :o

    You were right, DSP will simply instruct the CE scheme of the new rate of pay

    I think she was a bit hopeful that since it was taxable, they wouldn't touch it and she could instruct on repayment when she was happy they had the right figure.
