6.6.2 Deduction for overpayments

Before making a deduction for an overpayment, the delegate should ensure that the decision to raise an overpayment and to recover it from a payment of compensation for permanent impairment has been correctly made and is properly documented on the file.

A deduction for an overpayment should be distinguished from a deduction for:

• a correction
• a prior interim payment, or
• DVA clearance.
