248.—(1) A deciding officer may, at any time—
|
|
| |
(a) revise any decision of a deciding officer, if it appears to him that the decision was erroneous in the light of new evidence or of new facts which have been brought to his notice since the date on which it was given or by reason of some mistake having been made in relation to the law or the facts, or if it appears to him that there has been any relevant change of circumstances since the decision was given, or
|
|
| |
(b) revise any decision of an appeals officer if it appears to him that there has been any relevant change of circumstances which has come to notice since the decision was given,
|
|
| |
and the provisions of this Part as to appeals shall apply to the revised decision in the same manner as they apply to an original decision of a deciding officer.
|
|
| |
[1993, s. 31(1)]
|
|
| |
(2) Subsection (1)(a) shall not apply to a decision relating to a matter which is on appeal or reference under sections 250 and 257 unless the revised decision would be in favour of a claimant.
