R (Balding) v. Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2007] EWHC 759 (Admin)
“Where an individual was liable to repay overpaid social security benefit under the Social Security Administration Act 1992 this was counted as a liability to pay money under an enactment for the purposes of s 382(4) of the Insolvency Act 1986 and was a bankruptcy debt. Discharge of the bankrupt released him from liability for recovery of the overpaid benefit.”
