Answer

My officials continue to work closely with Department for Work and Pensions counterparts and with local stakeholders to discuss the recommendations from the Independent Review of CA Overpayments. This is an ongoing piece of work, however, it is standard practice to maintain parity with operational and policy changes relating to the social security system in Northern Ireland.
