The Independent's Morning Headlines email [View online]( July 25, 2022 [Morning Headlines]( 1 / [Fears thousands wrongly told to pay back pandemic benefits]( Nearly 15,000 people say they have been wrongly ordered to pay back universal credit payments, as the government attempts to claw back £500m in pandemic benefit handouts. Many have been told to repay the money in error simply because they missed phone calls or messages from the Department of Work and Pensions requesting evidence as it carries out retrospective checks, according a charity supporting claimants. The department has told 125,000 people that they were not eligible for the payments, with most being told they owe thousands of pounds, after it suspended face-to-face identity checks at the start of the Covid crisis. The government has admitted that if an individual “does not provide evidence/fully engage in the process” they could be considered to have received an overpayment. Some have been pursued by private debt collectors. Around 14,500 people are appealing against the payback orders.   2 / [Sunak and Truss to have first head-to-head debate in premiership race]( Pair will clash over tax and immigration in BBC showdown at 9pm today 3 / [Dover becomes ‘hotspot of holiday hell’, but queues easing after three-day gridlock]( The equivalent to more than 200 miles of holidaymaker and freight traffic had been processed through the weekend up until Sunday morning 4 / [Major incident declared and public told to cancel barbecues as wildfires tear across southeast England]( Reports of smoke have erupted across the region as firefighters continue to attempt to bring fires under control 5 / [‘Persistent’ NHS understaffing ‘poses serious risk to staff and patient safety’]( The report said almost every part of the NHS was suffering staff shortages     The Big Question Why did Brexit make the Dover gridlock inevitable?
