Thanks all.
As far as I know the UC money just went straight into her bank account.
Unfortunately unbeknown to me she rang the DWP debit repayment number and has paid the money!!
As I expected the number to make the payments was answered promptly, apparently a recorded message said that in no circumstances could the issues be discussed, didn't stop my wife voicing her annoyance, she's now setup a £50 monthly repayment scheme.
Sorry for some of the vagueness but this is all second-hand info.
We've both agreed that we wouldn't do this again... fined for something that wasn't our fault and as this was our first time claiming anything we had no idea of the 'correct' way to do any of this.
