Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Rule (including any effects on those provisions):
12.—(1) Where, on or after 2nd October 1995, a person enters into a new agreement in respect of a dwelling and an agreement entered into before 2nd October 1995 (“the earlier agreement”) continues in force independently of the new agreement, then—
(a)the housing costs applicable to the new agreement are to be calculated by reference to the provisions of paragraph 9 (new housing costs);
(b)the housing costs applicable to the earlier agreement are to be calculated by reference to the provisions of paragraph 8 (existing housing costs),
and the resulting amounts are to be aggregated.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of a claimant to whom paragraph 10 applies.
(3) Where for the time being a loan exceeds, or in a case where more than one loan is to be taken into account, the aggregate of those loans exceeds the appropriate amount specified in sub-paragraph (4), then the amount of the loan or, as the case may be, the aggregate amount of those loans, shall for the purposes of this Schedule, be the appropriate amount.
(4) Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, the appropriate amount is £100,000.
(5) Where a claimant is treated under paragraph 5(6) as occupying 2 dwellings as the home, then the restrictions imposed by sub-paragraph (3) are to be applied separately to the loans for each dwelling.
(6) In a case to which paragraph 7 applies, the appropriate amount for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) is to be the lower of—
(a)a sum determined by applying the formula—
where—
=
the relevant fraction for the purposes of paragraph 7; and
=
the amount or, as the case may be, the aggregate amount for the time being of any loan or loans which qualify under this Schedule; or
(b)the sum for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (4).
(7) In a case to which paragraph 16(3) or 17(3) applies, the appropriate amount for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3) is to be the lower of—
(a)a sum representing for the time being the part of the loan applied for the purposes specified in paragraph 16(1) or, as the case may be, paragraph 17(1); or
(b)the sum for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (4).
(8) In the case of any loan to which paragraph 17(2)(k) applies the whole of the loan, to the extent that it remains unpaid, is to be disregarded in determining whether the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (4) is exceeded.
(9) Where in any case the amount for the time being specified for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) is exceeded and there are 2 or more loans to be taken into account under either or both paragraphs 16 and 17, then the amount of eligible interest in respect of each of those loans to the extent that the loans remain outstanding is to be determined as if each loan had been reduced to a sum equal to the qualifying portion of that loan.
(10) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (9), the qualifying portion of a loan is to be determined by applying the following formula—
where—
=
the amount for the time being specified for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3);
=
the amount of the outstanding loan to be taken into account; and
=
the aggregate of all outstanding loans to be taken into account under paragraphs 16 and 17.
[F1(11) Sub-paragraph (12) applies to a person who, had the person been entitled to income support and not an employment and support allowance, would have been a person to whom any of the following transitional or savings provisions would have applied—
(a)regulation 4 of the Income Support (General) (Amendment No. 4) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 (“the 1993 Regulations”);
(b)regulation 3 of the Income-Related Benefits (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 (“the 1995 Regulations”).
(c)in a case to which the 1995 Regulations would have applied, the appropriate amount is £125,000.]
