Could someone please clarify paragraphs 23 to 26 of A15/2009 for me? I understood that whilst a DRO was in place we could recover by deduction from ongoing benefit, and any balance remaining due at the point of discharge was to be written off. However, I’m now confused by the difference between “deductions at source” and “clawback”. Does this mean we can make deductions from the primary benefit eg Income Support but not from ongoing HB?
