DHPs and Overpayments
I’ve spoken to a client yesterday who claimed a DHP a couple of years ago, but (according to her) the authority used it to reduce an overpayment of HB. I know they aren’t allowed do that, but it’s a couple of years ago now, and I can’t see us getting anywhere in trying to get it changed now. However, she’s in the position where she needs to apply for another DHP, and I want to make sure the same doesn’t happen again.
Can someone tell me the reg I need to quote at them to remind them they can’t do that?
Thanks
