Housing Benefit overpayment
Wed 17-Nov-04 08:53 AM

Housing Benefit was paid directly to landlord. Overpayment now going back to 1995, and recovery is being sought from landlord (benefit due to other tenants) Legislation changed in 1997 to allow this method of recovery. Trying to find out if the part of the o/p from 1995 can be recovered in this way, or only from date the legislation came in?
Thanks
