CCM15520 - Undisclosed Partners: Recovery of Overpayment for cases opened before 17 May 2007 - Calculating the Settlement Figure

To arrive at your settlement figure you need to calculate -

1. the gross overpayment - see CCM15510 
2. the notional entitlement - see below
3. the net overpayment which is the gross overpayment in (a) less the notional entitlement in b.
4. whether there is to be a penalty - see CCM15575 

The method of settlement will depend on whether or not there is a penalty.

• If there is no penalty to recover - see CCM15585.
• If there is a penalty to recover - see CCM15595.

The amount of the notional entitlement will depend on the following circumstances of the case:-

• If the partner is still living with the claimant - see CCM15530.
• If the partner is no longer living with the claimant - see CCM15545.
• If there has been a claim by a couple when they should have claimed as two single claimants - see CCM15560.
• If both the claimant and the partner had made a claim as single claimants - see CCM15565.
