RE: IS overpayment decision not supersession

I think that what you are quoting from is the revision, unfortunately. It clearly identifies the decision which needs to be revised ("We have looked at the decision dated..."), and then goes on to revise it.
I agree the wording could be improved, but it used to be the case that "overpayment decisions" would often simply say "Due to a change in your circumstances you have been overpaid X amount of benefit for the period....to....".
It was those that you could succesfully run a s.71(5) argument with - there was clearly not even an attempt at revision/supersession. I know this may not have been the response you wanted, sorry.
