(2) Subregulation (1) does not apply in relation to a contract for the purchase of a dwelling, being a contract that provides for the payment of the whole or part of the purchase price by instalments, if the Secretary is satisfied that it would be unreasonable for that subregulation to apply having regard to all the circumstances.
(3) In this regulation, ‘dwelling’ does not include a dwelling referred to in paragraph 16 (1) (a).
Where assistance again becomes payable to a person by reason that the person is a person to whom regulation 16 applies, the first instalment shall be paid as soon as practicable after the person makes a request under regulation 17.

and the Secretary is not forthwith notified in writing of the fact, then the person, or each of the persons, as the case may be, is guilty of an offence punishable, upon conviction, by a fine not exceeding $1,000.
(1) Where an amount of assistance has been paid to a person or persons as a result of a request under regulation 17 and the whole or part of the amount should not have been paid, the whole, or that part, as the case may be, of the amount is referred to in this regulation as an amount overpaid, and the succeeding provisions of this regulation apply.

(b) where 2 or more amounts of assistance are so payable — by deduction of equal amounts from the amounts so payable.
(3) So much of the amount overpaid as exceeds the total amount (if any) of further assistance payable, but not paid, to the person or persons is a debt due to the Commonwealth by the person, or by the persons jointly and severally, as the case may be, and may at any time be sued for and recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction by the Secretary suing in his official name.
(4) Where by virtue of subregulation (3) a debt is due by persons jointly and severally, the Secretary is not entitled to recover amounts that, in the aggregate, exceed the amount of the debt.

(b) as a result of the determination, the whole or part of the amount of assistance is not payable;
then, for the purposes of this regulation, the whole, or that part, as the case may be, of the amount of assistance shall be treated as if it should not have been paid.
(6) Without limiting the generality of subregulation (1), where an amount of assistance has been paid in respect of a dwelling and any of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 20 (2) (a) or (b) occurs, then, for the purposes of this regulation the amount of assistance shall be treated as if it should not have been paid.
(7) Where the whole or part of an amount of assistance that has become payable to a person or persons has not been paid, the Secretary shall pay the whole, or that part, as the case may be, by way of a single payment.
A person shall not, in connection with, or in support of, a request under regulation 17 for the resumption of payment of assistance, make, whether orally or in writing, a statement that, to his knowledge, is false or misleading in a material particular.

(a) the assistance, including any instalment of the assistance that would otherwise have been payable to that person, ceases to be payable in respect of any period after the expiration of the month in which the person dies or, where the date of that person’s death is not known, the expiration of the month in which there are reasonable grounds for believing that that person died; and
(b) an amount of that assistance paid in respect of a period after the expiration of that month is a debt due to the Commonwealth and may at any time be sued for and recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction by the Secretary suing in his official name.

(a) one of 2 assisted persons dies (in this regulation referred to as the ‘deceased applicant’); and
