Part 3: Administration etc. Section 6: Administration of additional payments
Subsections (1) and (2) provide that provisions - including about overpayment and recovery -apply as if the additional payment were a payment or award of the social security benefit, tax credit or disability benefit which conferred entitlement to the additional payment. Subsection (3) provides that the provisions in subsection (1) equally apply to purported additional payments which were not in fact made in compliance with the duties in section 1 and 5. Therefore, overpaid additional payments can be recovered in line with provisions of the social security benefit, tax credit or disability benefit which conferred entitlement.
	Subsection (2) provides that although the underlying social security benefit, tax credit or disability benefit can be reviewed or appealed an additional payment cannot be reviewed or appealed.
	Subsections (2)(b), (4), (5) and (6) provide that the provisions referenced in subsection (1) may be modified.
	Subsection (4) provides that subsection (1) (including with respect to subsection (3)) is subject to regulations made by the Secretary of State, the Treasury or HMRC under subsection (5).
	Subsections (5) and (6) provide that regulations may be made in relation to the additional payments by the Secretary of State, the Treasury or HMRC to apply or disapply, with or without modifications, any provision applying in relation to a social security benefit, tax credit or disability benefit and that these regulations may have effect from the day the Act comes into force.
