8.7.6 How to recover social security overpayments
DFISA ceased 1 January 2022. This is for historical reference only.
8.7.6.1 — The following example illustrates how and from whom overpayments are recovered where the social security payment of a veteran and a spouse had been overpaid because of adjusted DP arrears and where DFISA was payable to both.
| Veteran | Partner |
Scenario | $10,000 DP arrears $2,000 Age pension overpayment $2,000 DFISA arrears |
$2,000 Age pension overpayment $2,000 DFISA arrears |
Calculation | The amount to be released to the veteran was calculated as follows:
| The partner's overpayment was recovered from veteran's DP arrears. Amount released to partner = partner's DFISA arrears ($2,000) |
