DWP use of discretion in reasonableness overpayment cases
I have an appeal against an overpayment of income support next week.
Following the decsion in B v United Kingdom it appears that now the main option is to ask DWP to use it’s discretion .
I understand that following this case DWP has let Rightsnet ,CitA and CPAG have a copy of when discretion can be used in these cases .
Please can you advise where I can find the discretion list .
Also are there any other argumemts I can use .My cliant is registered blind and mentally unwell,but the above decsion seems to have thrown options and caselaw away.
Many thanks
