Overpayment of housing benefit, 5 years on. Mon 24-Jan-05 02:25 PM
We have received an O/P decision in Dec. 04 for tnt failing to notify LA that JSA ceased sometime in 2000. The LA notified the tnt in 2000 about the O/P, did not notify the LLord. The tnt sought advice from an outside agency to appeal against the decision. It appears that was never concluded.
We have now received a notice seeking to recover the same O/P which the LA had decided to recover from the tenant in 2000 but has so far failed to do so.
