“26.—(1) The Secretary of State may at any time and from time to time revise or supersede any decision given by the Board under provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation (Supplementation) Scheme 1966 in force immediately before 1st July 1977, if—

(3) Where it appears to the Secretary of State that an issue has arisen whether the decision as to an award of an allowance to which this article relates ought to be revised or superseded in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1), he may decide that payment of the allowance shall be suspended in whole or in part until that issue has been determined.
(4) Repayment of sums by way of an allowance in pursuance of the original decision shall not be required under this article in any case where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State that in the obtaining and receipt of the benefit the beneficiary, and any person acting for him, has throughout used due care and diligence to avoid overpayment.
(5) For the purposes of this article a decision given under any scheme made under the 1951 Act shall be treated as if it had been given under the Workmen’s Compensation (Supplementation) Scheme 1966 as it was immediately before the Workmen’s Compensation (Supplementation) Amendment Scheme 1977 came into operation.
