DMBM557600 - Debt and return pursuit: Child Benefit overpayments: recovery from revived entitlement

Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know as soon as possible.

Recovery from revived entitlement can be considered, where there is an existing overpayment which is still outstanding and either recovery has not been made or has broken down.

The Child Benefit Office will notify Debt Management of revived entitlement via the DM notification form.

Follow the guidance at DMBM557500 to recover the Child Benefit overpayment.
