How will over-payments be dealt with?published at 16:22 British Summer Time 25 April 2018
Next up is amendments regarding the recovery of assistance given in error.
Ms Freeman says these are technical amendments for when individuals do not notify the agency of a change in circumstances leading to over-payment, including if a person had passed away.
She does not support Labour MSP Mark Griffin's amendments, saying a test for recovering over-payments should not be subjected to a test of whether an error was obvious or not.
She suggests this would introduce an "inherent unfairness" to the system.
The minister will back Tory MSP Jeremy Balfour's amendments 146 and 147, but not amendment 137.
