Does any one have a copy of this decision they can let me have please?

Alternatively, does anyone know of any more recent decisions as to what constitutes a material fact for the purposes of a supersession in ignorance of one?

my fax no. is 01482 564461

Thanks

R(I)3/75 was cited with approval in R(M)5/86.

The Commissioner discussed the distinction between primary facts and secondary facts in R(S)4/86. Primary facts are material facts and ignorance of primary facts is grounds for supersession.

Purported ignorance of secondary facts is not grounds for supersession. Such ignorance is more likely to be a mistake of consideration. See also para 11 of R(SB)4/92 where this is discussed

R(SB)4/92 is on the DWP website

I have emailed R(S)4/86 and R(M)5/86 to rightsnet

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much again to stainsby, R(S)4/86 and R(M)5/86 are both now available on rightsnet.
