The overpayment debt was created by the prior payment of special benefits and crystallised when ACC entitlement was confirmed; the Ministry's subsequent omission to implement the appellant's instruction did not cause the overpayment so s86(9A) does not bar recovery, and the Authority did not err in exercising its discretion under s86(1) to allow recovery.
