Recoverable overpaymentsE+W+S

100.—(1) Any overpayment, except one to which paragraph (2) applies, shall be recoverable.

(2) Subject to paragraph (4) this paragraph applies to an overpayment [F2which arose in consequence of] an official error where the claimant or a person acting on his behalf or any other person to whom the payment is made could not, at the time of receipt of the payment or of any notice relating to that payment, reasonably have been expected to realise that it was an overpayment.

(3) In paragraph (2), “overpayment [F3which arose in consequence of an official error] ” means an overpayment caused by a mistake made whether in the form of an act or omission by—

(a)the relevant authority;

(b)an officer or person acting for that authority;

(c)an officer of—

(i)the Department for Work and Pensions; or

(ii)Revenue and Customs,

acting as such; or

(d)a person providing services to the Department for Work and Pensions or to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs,

101.—(1) For the purposes of section 75(3)(a) of the Administration Act M1 (prescribed circumstances in which an amount recoverable shall not be recovered from the person to whom it was paid), the prescribed circumstance is—

(a)housing benefit has been paid in accordance with regulation 95 (circumstances in which payment is to be made to the landlord) or regulation 96 (circumstances in which payment may be made to a landlord);

(b)the landlord has notified the relevant authority or the Secretary of State in writing that he suspects that there has been an overpayment;

[F5(bb)the relevant authority is satisfied that the overpayment did not occur as a result of any change of dwelling occupied by the claimant as his home;]

(c)it appears to the relevant authority that, on the assumption that there has been an overpayment—

(i)there are grounds for instituting proceedings against any person for an offence under section 111A or 112(1) of the Administration Act M2 (dishonest or false representations for obtaining benefit); or

(ii)there has been a deliberate failure to report a relevant change of circumstances contrary to the requirement of regulation 88 (duty to notify a change of circumstances) and the overpayment occurred as a result of that deliberate failure; and

(d)the relevant authority is satisfied that the landlord—

(i)has not colluded with the claimant so as to cause the overpayment;

(ii)has not acted, or neglected to act, in such a way so as to contribute to the period, or the amount, of the overpayment.

[F6(2) For the purposes of section 75(3)(b) of the Administration Act (recovery from such other person, as well as or instead of the person to whom the overpayment was made), where recovery of an overpayment is sought by a relevant authority—

(a)subject to paragraph (1) and where sub-paragraph (b) or (c) does not apply, the overpayment is recoverable from the claimant as well as the person to whom the payment was made, if different;

(b)in a case where an overpayment arose in consequence of a misrepresentation of or a failure to disclose a material fact (in either case, whether fraudulently or otherwise) by or on behalf of the claimant, or by or on behalf of any person to whom the payment was made, the overpayment is only recoverable from any person who misrepresented or failed to disclose that material fact instead of, if different, the person to whom the payment was made; or

(c)in a case where an overpayment arose in consequence of an official error where the claimant, or a person acting on the claimant’s behalf, or any person to whom the payment was paid, or any person acting on their behalf, could reasonably have been expected, at the time of receipt of the payment or of any notice relating to that payment, to realise that it was an overpayment, the overpayment is only recoverable from any such person instead of, if different, the person to whom the payment was made.]

[F7(2A) Where an overpayment is made in a case where a relevant authority has determined a maximum rent (LHA) in accordance with regulation 13D (determination of a maximum rent (LHA)), and the housing benefit payable exceeds the amount which the claimant is liable to pay his landlord by way of rent, the relevant authority must not recover from the landlord more than the landlord has received.]

(3) For the purposes of [F8paragraphs (1) and (2A)], “landlord” shall have the same meaning as it has for the purposes of regulation 95.

[F9(3A) For the purposes of [F10paragraph (2)(c)], “overpayment arose in consequence of an official error” shall have the same meaning as in [F9regulation 100(3)] above.]
