7AObligation not to make claims in excess of entitlement

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.

Note: A benefit that is in accordance with entitlement may be provided pursuant to the claim. If a benefit in excess of entitlement is purportedly provided, an amount will be recoverable under section 10A.
