Change existing legislation on the recovery of benefits from insurers - COVID-19
Existing legislation enables Govt, via the Compensation Recovery Units of the DWP, to recover deductions made from insurance settlements, of monies received by claimants from Govt agencies. Ins. co's are making like deductions in relation to COVID-19 claims payments, but no legislation exists.
The following is a link to the current legislation and procedures, demonstrating there is fundamentally no difference in the reason why the current legislation was enacted and why this needs to be extended to apply to the financial support measures provided by Government to businesses. businesseshttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recovery-of-benefits-and-or-lump-sum-payments-and-nhs-charges-technical-guidance/recovery-of-benefits-and-lump-sum-payments-and-nhs-charges-technical-guidance
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about current arrangements for making deductions in respect of certain payments, but we're not sure what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
If you want the Government to seek to recoup Covid-19 support payments, where recipients have also received insurance payments to cover losses experienced as a result of Covid-19, you could start a new petition stating clearly how you want this to work.
