A man who received a letter from the Department of Work and Pensions ordering him to pay back 2p has slammed them as "ridiculous".
Security guard Damien Dove, from Sunderland, received the letter on Tuesday which told him there was an overpayment more than three years ago while he was on housing benefit and he was claiming part rent.
Mr Dove said it was the only time he has ever claimed benefits and the DWP told him they would "consider further action" if it wasn't paid.
