But I showed him a copy of the letter we sent stating that they had been over-generous. He suggested I should keep proof of them receiving that letter (Post Office Signed-for) in case they ever decided to claim over-payment. The Tribunals deal with that scenario a lot.

When I got home, my daughter said that someone from that office had called asking for a "reference number". She did not understand what that meant, so I hope they'll call again. I suspect they want the P.O. receipt number, to put on her records in case the DWP decides to play silly buggers.

Similar to what happened to me last year. PIP denied after missing out by 1 point. Skipped firsts steps and deaf blind Scotland rep that helped me requested tribunal right away. After a few months I got a call offering standard rate of living and mobility. I was only looking for living. Accepted the for and 4 months later I got the letter of invite to tribunal as DWP had not bothered yo contact them to advise it was settled. I had to call DWP to prompt them to send info to say it was settled.
