      Hello and thank you Abby. Do I have to pay it back?

      I can’t see Abby having the authority at this time to answer your question but I expect you will need to repay it back if you weren’t entitled to it in the first place! Me too so I’ll have to cancel that foreign holiday now

      Hello and thank you Abby. Do I have to pay it back?

      I believe that should be figured out soon. If it’s OK with you, I’d suggest ringfencing that cash and putting it somewhere safe for now. That way, it’s easier to pay back if you need to.

      Hi @NFGoudie 

      I received the same thing recently with no information as to why 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

      I do recall reading this a few weeks back and wonder if there’s any connection, it’d be good to know before I spend it in case they want it back!

      Best regards
