The Authority and Chief Executive were correct: under s81 the Chief Executive may retrospectively review benefits and, consistent with the definition of income and s64(2B), ACC payments made in respect of a past period are to be treated as income for the period to which the entitlement relates (15 March 1998 to 11 September 2005), permitting recovery of overpayments and reimbursement by ACC under s252 IPRCA.
