Regulation 13 Off-setting in the case of awards of benefit back-dated on appeal

This regulation applies where the Department may recover an overpayment by virtue of the fourth case in regulation 6.

In addition to the means set out above, the Department may recover the outstanding amount by making deductions from that portion of the amount of relevant social security benefit awarded on the revision, supersession or appeal (as the case may be) which represents back-dated benefit to which the person was entitled.
