RE: HB overpayment recovery
Tue 19-Jan-10 12:24 PM |
They might have invoiced you for the money but without a single decision to the extent that the overpayments is recoverable from you as well as the claimant, there is no overpayment that can be recovered.(see R(H)6/06, CH/4062/2005,CH/3744/2006,CH/4534/2006, CH/2298/2007)
I would just stop paying any of the invoices, and appeal all of the purported decisions as on time appeals, given that you have either not been notified at all, or not been properly notified of the decisions.
For decisions which support your argument that the appeals are on time see CP/4479/2000 and CH/1129/2004.
I have done many appeals on these lines and with a high success rate. The decisions are in the majority of cases amended without going before a Tribunal.
