The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the decision to return unearned benefits, ruling that the administrative authority failed to conduct the mandatory screening procedure. The applicant argued for the return of funds based on a change in circumstances, but the court found the procedural prerequisites for such a review were not satisfied. Consequently, the decision to recover the benefits was upheld because the necessary legal steps to challenge the initial payment were not properly executed.
