“The only right to recover overpaid social security benefits paid according to an award was that conferred by s 71 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 which provided an exhaustive scheme for dealing with all overpayments made pursuant to benefit awards and applied only where there had been misrepresentation or non-disclosure. The Secretary of State was not therefore entitled to seek recovery of such overpayments paid in error by way of a restitutionary claim at common law.”
