If we pay you too much Council Tax Benefit or Second Adult Rebate, we will send you a letter confirming the amount of any overpayment (Excess Benefit) that you have received.

The letter will explain:

Why we paid you too much benefit.
How much the excess benefit is for.
Whether you have to pay back the overpaid amount.
How you can appeal if you disagree with our decision.

In most cases we will send you a revised Council Tax bill, and you will usually have to pay more Council Tax.
