Recovery of overpayments of pensions

127. Recovery of overpayments of pensions



(1) Where it is found that any pension or instalment of a pension which is not
payable has been paid or that any sum paid by way of pension or instalment of
pension is in excess of the amount so payable, the amount wrongly paid may be
recovered as a debt due to the Tribunal at the suit of the Chairman of the
Tribunal in his official name, or, where it is practicable so to do, the
Tribunal may make any necessary adjustments in any instalments of the same or
any other pension thereafter becoming payable.

(2) Nothing in this section shall relieve the person wrongly receiving any
such payment from any other liability in respect of any fraud committed by
him.
