Hi All,
I’m doing some overpayment testing at the moment and I am wondering what I should be seeing in subsidy, per claim, in the following scenario. We are a Civica site if that helps at all.
Scenario:
Too much HB paid to rent account and manual adjustment (overpayment) created to ‘take back’.
Period in question 05/04/04 to 19/12/04.
Subsidy for 2004/05 entire year is £1,928 @ full rate.
Manual adjustment o/p created on 28/03/11 for period 05/04/04 to 19/12/04; £1068.76.
This is where I get confused! For 2010/11 I would expect to see £1068.76 in cell 66 as this adjustment would have the affect of reducing what was originally paid in 2004/05.
The thing is, £1068.76 shows absolutely nowhere in subsidy within 2010/11, or any other years for that matter. I may be entirely incorrect in looking at it this way, but surely there should be a record within subsidy of the overpayment to balance expenditure, otherwise we have claimed £1068.76 in 2004/05 that now, due to an amendment in 2010/11 no longer applies.
Does this make sense to anybody?
How is this being accounted for if it doesnt appear in subsidy? Is there something we are not doing correctly when processing manual overpayments?
