Just checking that I'm interpreting the regs right:

Where a LA says that there has been an overpayment which it intends to recover -

that the landlord has the right of appeal against both the revised decision (eg the entitlement decision) and the recoverability decision, as a person 'affected by the decision'.

Would the landlord still have the right of appeal against the entitlement decision if the LA decided not to recover (or that it couldn't recover) from the landlord.

Tenant is very vulnerable and not sure that could cope with appeal.

Where both landlord and claimant are eligible targets for recovery, both have the right to appeal against the fact that there is an overpayment, the way it has been calculated, if it is recoverable, etc, etc.

This applies even if the LA chooses to only recover from the claimant.

If, however, the landlord is not an eligible target for recovery then they have no appeal rights on the overpayment.

Thanks - thats what I thought
