Overpayment recovery.
Can Debt management recover an Income Support overpayment under appeal. Has there been a recent change that I have missed.
Thanks
The only time this should happen is when it is a late appeal
Thanks for reply, can you confirm the regs please.
I normally just state “section 7.9 (c) of The Overpayment Recovery Guide provides that “Where the debtor has disputed the overpayment decision; by (a) … ; or (b) making an appeal;” You should suspend recovery action until the dispute is dealt with and I should be grateful if you would do so immediately.”
