Regulation 15 Liability for care leaver payment given in error
Subject to regulation 16, an individual is liable to pay a responsible authority the value of any care leaver payment that was made to the individual by the responsible authority under these Regulations, to the extent that the payment was due to an error.
For the avoidance of doubt, the individual’s liability under paragraph (1) is limited to the difference in value between—
the care leaver payment that was made, and
the care leaver payment (if any) that would have been made had the error not been made.
In this regulation and regulation 16, an “error” means—
an error when making a care leaver payment under these Regulations, or
an error which led to a determination by the responsible authority to make a payment under these Regulations—
incorrectly, or
correctly but on the basis of incorrect or misleading information.
