That the irrecoverable Housing Benefits overpayment (£34,124), listed at Appendix 5 to the report, be written off.
Reasons for the decision:
The Executive considered the 1st Quarter Finance, Performance and Risk Monitoring Report 2022/23. As part of its consideration of the report, the Executive was asked to write-off the irrecoverable Housing Benefits overpayment (£34,124) listed at Appendix 5 as all reasonable debt recovery has taken place.
Consultation Results and Previous Committee Feedback
This issue was considered by the Corporate Services Policy Advisory Committee on 12 October 2022 as part of the 1st Quarter Finance, Performance and Risk Monitoring Report 2022/23, and the Committee supported the recommendation to write off the debt.
Alternative options considered:
That further action be taken to recover the Housing Benefits overpayment (£34,124) listed at Appendix 5 to the report. However, this would not be appropriate as it is considered that all reasonable debt recovery has taken place.
