Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
reconsideration of claim  authority to review  new facts vs reconsideration 

Summary:

Ss.43(1) does not require new facts. I reject the argument that 43(1) is limited to the claims themselves and not the Commission's own decisions. It clearly applies to any circumstance whereby on a review it appears that there has been an overpayment ofbenefits. [p._10]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
reconsideration of claim  overpayment  authority to write off 

Summary:

Counsel for the claimant submitted that FINDENIGG is authority for the proposition that a Board has the ability to exercise the discretion granted to the Commission to write off an overpayment. I reject this argument. [p._14]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  issue not recognized  correction to consider 

Summary:

As per CUB 11108, the Commission must rescind that decision, thus aborting the appeal, issue a new decision with a fresh period for appeal. This is in fact what it attempted to do. I believe that it is a reasonable course to follow, consistent with natural justice. [p._8]
