- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the appellant's sworn evidence and the regular, consistent receipts as sufficient to establish that home help was provided; respondent's failure to raise contemporaneous doubts over a two‑year payment period and inability to prove fraudulent or unjustified payments meant the calculated overpayment should not be recovered, so the review officer's decision was revoked and the overpayment cancelled.
