amount (the paid amount) is greater than the excess amount (the payable amount) that would have been paid as, or as part of, the payment in respect of that period had the error not been made;
an amount equal to the difference between the paid amount and the payable amount may be recovered by the Commonwealth from the person as a debt due to the Commonwealth.

(8) A debt that is recoverable under subitem (6) or (7) is, for the purposes of sections 1227A and 1231A of the Social Security Act 1991, taken to be a debt that is recoverable under section 56 of the Principal Act in respect of an amount of exceptional circumstances relief payment.

(9) Subitems (6) and (7) do not, by implication, affect the recovery or set‑off of overpayments of exceptional circumstances relief payment under the Principal Act.

(10) Despite subitems (2) and (3), if, before the commencing day, an amount was disregarded for the 2007‑08 financial year in a calculation that used a formula that is the same as that in subsection 24A(5) or (6) or subsection 24AA(6) or (8) of the Principal Act as amended by this Schedule, then the amount is to be treated, after the commencing day, as if it had been disregarded for that financial year under that subsection.
