The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that benefit claimants will be able to ask for a review into a previous request to stop (waive) Recoverable Hardship Payment (RHP) repayments made between January 1, 2014 and January 11,2021.
People can now begin gathering evidence to support their query ahead of applications opening on December 19, 2022. Recoverable Hardship Payments provide money to claimants who have seen their benefits reduced by sanctions or a fraud penalty.
Claimants have to apply for them with evidence of need, and each request is reviewed individually. Hardship payments must be repaid by the claimant, however, claimants can request for the recovery of these payments to be waived, and must provide further evidence to show that paying back the money is either unaffordable or would affect their or their family’s health or wellbeing.
The DWP has started looking at previous waiver requests that took place prior to January 11, 2021.A new guidance page on GOV.UK explains the process and asks claimants to share evidence if they feel their RHP should be waived.Applications can only be considered if a request was made to waive the RHP between January 1, 2014 and January 11, 2021 and was refused at the time.
