If an employer paid excess amounts to the GPSSA, is there a specific period within which they have the right to claim them back?

Is there a mechanism that the Insured, Pensioner, Beneficiary, or any interested party must follow to claim their rights and have reconsidered before resorting to litigation?

Before a rights holder can go to court, they must first appeal the pension or gratuity decision to the Insurance Appeals Committee formed by the Board of Directors, and this must be done within five years of becoming entitled to the pension or endofservice payment. This means the committee must be petitioned before taking legal action against the employer, and the appeal has a fiveyear deadline.
