8.—(1) The Housing Executive may review any decision it has made with respect to the making, cancellation or recovery of discretionary housing payments in such circumstances as it thinks fit.
(2) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), the Housing Executive may, on any such review, cancel the making of further such payments and recover a payment already made where it has determined that—
(a)whether fraudulently or otherwise, any person has misrepresented, or failed to disclose, a material fact, and, as a consequence of that misrepresentation or failure to disclose, a payment has been made, or
(b)an error has been made when determining the application for a payment, and as a consequence of that error, a payment had been made which would not have been made but for that error.
