(a) a determination has been made by the Director under regulation 12, 13 or 19(3) that the individual is liable to make a payment;

(b) on reassessment in accordance with regulation 18, the Director calculates that the individual’s disposable annual income exceeds £3,398 by an amount which is different to that calculated when the determination referred to in sub-paragraph (a) was made; and

(c) the reassessment took place before the date—
