7A  Obligation not to make claims in excess of entitlement
 (1) A person must not make a claim for a benefit that is in excess of entitlement (whether wholly or partly).
Note: If a person contravenes this section in relation to a claim for a prescribed travel benefit, a penalty may apply: see section 10C.
 (2) In determining whether a claim is made in contravention of subsection (1), disregard section 10A.
 (3) A contravention of subsection (1) in relation to a claim does not of itself prevent the provision of a benefit pursuant to the claim.
