Here is the link if you want to know more.

I am not sure how you can check if you are due a refund, or if the DWP will pay any monies they owe without you having to make a claim. Like a lot of DWP related things, it seems a bit hit and miss.

ICB is/was Incapacity Benefit.

My understanding is that the dwp will contact people directly if they are due any money.

Can’t imagine the DWP paying me anything extra never mind £7K 😂

I believe that is only for those who were on Incapacity Benefit before being mover to ESA !

Yeah I think it is I saw the news. I think they deliberately stole the money on purpose hoping no one would find out but now people have they are obligated to pay it all back and they say we are scroungers and they steal money from vulnerable people despicable😣
