flag UK carers may get overpayment debts wiped if they unknowingly exceeded earnings limits due to confusing rules.

flag Tens of thousands of UK unpaid carers may have their benefit overpayment debts wiped following a government review of the DWP’s handling of Carer’s Allowance claims. flag Starting in early 2026, those who unknowingly exceeded the £196 weekly earnings limit due to confusing guidance and repaid amounts since 2015 could qualify for full debt cancellation, especially if their income fluctuated. flag The DWP is launching a refund programme to correct systemic errors that led to debts, legal threats, and financial hardship, with financial experts advising affected individuals on how to apply.
