We have just received a letter today (from the trust), that we have
been receiving deprivation payments in error and the money will be
clawed back. I realise that a few years ago the formula was
readjusted. However, I was under the impression that payments were to
continue. The period that is being talked about is from April 2002.
Does anybody know if the trust are correct? Did I completely faill to
notice that deprivation payments were to stop?

Whatever has happened, talk immediately to your LMC for advice. There are
provisions for not having to pay back and paying back over a period in
various circs and the LMC sec should know or if not, should be able to get
the info.
Dep payments were changed a few years ago because it moved from constituency
to enumerator disctricts (if I recall correctly) and some people fell out of
the system. It may be this.
