PART 2Payments on account of benefit
Bringing payments on account of benefit into account10
Where it is practicable to do so, a payment on account of benefit—
a
which was made in anticipation of an award of benefit, is to be offset by the Secretary of State against the sum payable to A under the award of benefit on account of which it was made;
b
whether or not made in anticipation of an award, which is not offset under paragraph (a), is to be deducted by the Secretary of State from—
i
the sum payable to A under the award of benefit on account of which it was made; or
ii
any sum payable under any subsequent award of that benefit to A.
