RE: 'Technical' arguments on overpayments
Wed 04-Aug-04 03:30 PM |
I'm not convinced that they can do much in the case of technical overpayments. As I understand the above case, they can remedy a DM saying they superseded the decision when they should have revised etc however, if the appeal is only about recoverability because lack of evidence of revision etc of ongoing award, I'm not sure they can go as far as carrying out that revision as its a separate decision and not part of the appeal. In other words, they can remedy a process that has been carried out incorectly but can't start a whole new process off from scratch. However, I'm sure one or two of them will try.
Case I have is one which has already been successful on technical grounds so I'm trying arging finality of Tribunal decisions as per CIS/460/02. However, have also got a 'substantive' issue as well.
