Carer's Allowance Victims Could Wait Until 2054 for Refunds, Charities Warn

Charities warn victims of the UK carer's allowance overpayment scandal face waiting until 2054 for refunds at current DWP reassessment rates. The two-year review, started in April, covers 200,000 cases, with about 25,000 carers expected refunds. The delay raises questions over whether administrative capacity can deliver correction while new overpayments continue.
