192.—(1) If it is found at any time that a person has been in receipt of a pension during any period during which that person was not entitled thereto, or has been in receipt of a pension at a higher rate than that appropriate to the case, then that person or, in case that person is dead, that person's personal representative, shall be liable to pay to the Minister on demand any sums paid to that person in respect of the pension during such period or, as the case may be, a sum representing the difference between a pension at the rate actually paid and a pension at the rate appropriate to the case.

(5) The power conferred on the Minister by this section to deduct from any payments on account of a pension to which a person becomes entitled any sums payable by the person to the Minister under this section may be exercised notwithstanding that proceedings have been instituted in a court for the recovery of the sums which the person is liable to repay to the Minister as aforesaid or that an order has been made by a court requiring the payment by the person of the sums which he is liable to pay to the Minister under this section, and any costs required by such order to be paid to the Minister shall be deemed, for the purposes of this section, to be sums payable by the person to the Minister under this section.
