With only a tiny fraction of the 200,000 cases resolved and campaigners warning the process won’t finish until 2054, many fear they’ll die before seeing refunds—or be lost to the system. The mess stems from years of neglect by the Department for Work and Pensions, which also penalized carers based on flawed data, even as new overpayments continue. While the government claims progress, advocates say the pace is glacial, leaving vulnerable carers trapped in bureaucratic limbo with no end in sight.
