Purpose of the list
There are two versions of the Overpayments Review List.
- LOPU is the update version.
- LOPN is the view only version.
The Overpayment Review List is available in Debt Management offices and in the CT Unit Cumbernauld. The purpose of the work list is to allow you to review cases where there is a potential repayment or reallocation.
How often should the list be reviewed?
The Overpayments Review List is an immediate action work list. You must review it daily and deal with any entries immediately.
Who does what?
The list must be dealt with by those users nominated by the senior office manager.
When are new entries added?
COTAX adds entries to the Overpayment Review List daily where cases satisfy the reasons for entry.
