   ...decision to reassess his eligibility over the period in question was correct. [11] Although it was not relevant to the review and is certainly not relevant to this appeal, the Secretary also commented adversely on the lack of any formal process permitting StudyLink to deduct overpayments of the sort established in this case from ACC compensation arrears – as it can in the case of benefit overpayments under the Social Security Act 1964.
