just a warning to people to make sure you inform AA if your family member goes into hospital. It was an awful time as Mum had a bad fall and was very ill and the hospital was a long way, I was stressed etc. She ended up being under NHS care for 10 weeks.
Anyway, I finally remembered to notify them a few weeks later so they had overpaid Mum £83.10. I then received a letter asking me why I had not notified them immediately and I apologised and gave the reasons Above. I thought that was an end to it but today I received a letter saying I had to pay back the £83.10 plus pay a civil penalty amount of £50.
They include details of how to appeal but I am so worn out at the moment that I honestly don't know if I can be bothered. It probably is my fault but with all that was going on it did slip my mind but I did ring and tell them albeit a bit late.
It's a pity they're not so quick off the mark chasing these benefit fraudsters who receive tens of thousands of pounds in fraudulent Claims.
