Treatment of high rents

7.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), where any part of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure of an authority whose area is or lies within an area identified in column 1 of Schedule 5 is attributable to any allowance granted in respect of a person whose weekly eligible rent exceeds the threshold specified in relation to that area in column 2 of that Schedule, for the purposes of article 4(1)(b)(ii), the appropriate amount in respect of that allowance shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph (2).

Rent officers' determinations

8.—(1) Where this article applies, in respect of that part of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which is attributable to allowances granted for the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date, the appropriate amount, for the purposes of article 4(1)(b)(ii), shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule 6.

(2) This article applies where—

(a) an authority applies to a rent officer for a determination to be made under the Rent Officers Order in relation to a dwelling; and

(b) the officer makes a determination under that Order.

(3) This article also applies in a case where—

(a) the dwelling (A) is in a hostel; and

(b) by virtue of regulation 12A(2) of the Housing Benefit Regulations(24) (requirement to refer to rent officers) an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling (A) is not required because the dwelling is regarded as similar to another dwelling (B) in that hostel in respect of which a determination has been made, and in such a case the determination made in respect of dwelling (B) shall, for the purposes of this article, be treated as if it were a determination in respect of dwelling (A).

(4) This article also applies where a rent officer has made a determination in respect of a tenancy of a dwelling and by virtue of paragraph 2 of Schedule 1A to the Housing Benefit Regulations(25) (excluded tenancies) a new determination is not required in respect of another tenancy of the dwelling, and in such a case the determination made shall, for the purposes of this article, be treated as if it were a determination made in respect of that tenancy.

(5) Where a determination as to the rent which a landlord might reasonably be expected to obtain in respect of a dwelling is made by a rent assessment committee following a determination made by a rent officer under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order, this article shall cease to apply in so far as it relates to a determination made by a rent officer under that paragraph from the date on which the rent assessment committee’s determination takes effect.

(6) Where

(a) a determination under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order has been made by the rent officer, and

(b) an application is made to the rent assessment committee and, had that application been made before the reference to the rent officer which led to that determination, the rent officer would, in accordance with article 5(2) of the Rent Officers Order(26), not have made such a determination, this article shall cease to apply in so far as it relates to that determination under that paragraph from the date of that application, or 1st April 1994, whichever is the later date.

(7) Except in a case to which paragraph (3) applies, this article does not apply where an authority is required to apply for a determination in relation to a dwelling during the relevant year under regulation 12A of the Housing Benefit Regulations which a rent officer would be required to make, but the authority fails to apply for that determination and any allowance granted in such a case shall, subject to article 11(4), be deducted from housing benefit qualifying expenditure pursuant to article 2(2)(b).

(2) Where paragraph (1) applies—

the amount of any such rebate shall, subject to article 11(4), be deducted from housing benefit qualifying expenditure, pursuant to article 2(2)(c), and the addition, if any, in respect of such rebates, referred to in article 4(1), shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph (5).

(5) Where paragraph (4) applies

(a) if the rebate granted is in respect of a person whose weekly eligible rent does not exceed the threshold specified in relation to that authority in column (2) of Schedule 7 (“the relevant threshold”), then the addition shall be 95 per cent. of that rebate;

12.  Until such time as the aggregate of the authorities' supplementary amounts calculated under paragraphs 9, 1O and 11 equals the aggregate of the amounts specified in sub-paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of L in paragraph 8, the calculations set out in paragraphs 10 and 11 shall, subject to the modifications set out below, continue to apply to calculate the supplementary amount for those appropriate authorities to whom neither paragraph 9 nor 11 has applied; and for that purpose—

(a) O shall apply as if the supplementary amount were the amount calculated under paragraph 10 or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last amount calculated under that paragraph in respect of that appropriate authority;

(b) P shall apply as if the amount to be deducted to determine the balance of the total amount available were the aggregate of the supplementary amounts for appropriate authorities to whom, in the calculation under paragraphs 10 and 11 or, if there has been more than one calculation under those paragraphs, the last such calculation, paragraph 11 applied; and

(c) Q shall apply as if the total of the supplementary amounts were the total of all the supplementary amounts calculated under paragraph 10 or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last calculated under that paragraph in respect of all appropriate authorities to whom paragraph 11 did not apply in that calculation.

1.—(1) The additions to or deductions from, as the case may be, housing benefit subsidy or council tax subsidy referred to in articles 13 and 21 shall be calculated in accordance with this Schedule.

(2) In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires—

• A is equal to (B + C) × 32;

• B is the total sum of housing benefit savings made by a relevant authority;

• C is the total sum of housing benefit related savings made by a relevant authority;

• D is equal to (E + F) × 32;

• E is the total sum of council tax benefit savings made by a relevant authority;

• F is the total sum of council tax benefit related savings made by a relevant authority;

• G, in the case of a relevant authority, is the figure prescribed in column (2) of the Table in Part IV for that authority;

• H is 0.75 of the value of G;

• I is 0.5 of the value of G;

• J is 0.25 of the value of G:

• “authorised person” means

  (i)

  an officer of a relevant authority; or

  (ii)

  an employee of a relevant authority’s contractor, where that individual has been designated by that authority for the investigation of fraud;

• “council tax benefit savings” means any amount which would have been allowed by way of council tax benefit to a claimant during a benefit week, but for the investigation and intervention of one or more authorised persons, and which would, had that amount been allowed as council tax benefit, have been fraudulent excess benefit, within the meaning of article 18(7), or in a case where only a proportion of that non-allowance was due to that investigation and intervention the amount shall be that proportion;

• “council tax benefit related savings” means—

  (i)

  where council tax benefit savings have been established and that investigation has also led to a determination by an adjudication officer that no relevant benefit, or less relevant benefit is payable, any amount of relevant benefit is payable, that would, but for that investigation and consequent determination, have been paid to that claimant in a payment week; and

  (ii)

  in a case where the council tax benefit savings were less than the total council tax benefit not allowed, the council tax benefit related savings shall be an amount determined by applying to the total of relevant benefit not paid a percentage equal to the percentage which those council tax benefit savings bear to the total council tax benefit not allowed.

  except that in neither case shall it include any amount which has been included in the housing benefit related savings for that authority;

• “housing benefit savings” means any amount which would have been paid by way of housing benefit to a claimant during a benefit week, but for the investigation and intervention of one or more authorised persons, and which would, had that amount been paid as housing benefit, have been a fraudulent overpayment, within the meaning of article 10(S), or, in a case where only a proportion of that non-payment was due to that investigation and intervention, the amount shall be that proportion;

• “housing benefit related savings” means—

  (i)

  where housing benefit savings under this Schedule have been established and that investigation has also led to a determination by an adjudication officer that no relevant benefit or less relevant benefit is payable, any amount of relevant benefit that would, but for that investigation and consequent determination, have been paid to that claimant in a payment week; and

  (ii)

  in a case where the housing benefit savings were less than the total housing benefit not paid, the housing benefit related savings shall be an amount determined by applying to the total of relevant benefit not paid a percentage equal to the percentage which those housing benefit savings bear to the total housing benefit not paid;

• “a payment week” means—

  (i)

  in the case of income support, a benefit week within the meaning prescribed therefor in regulation 2(1) of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987(55);

  (ii)

  in the case of invalidity benefit, severe disablement allowance or sickness benefit, the week in advance in which such benefit is to be paid pursuant to regulation 24(1) of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987(56) or, in a case where that regulation does not apply, would be so paid if that regulation did apply;

  (iii)

  in the case of retirement pension, the week in arrears in which such benefit is to be paid pursuant to regulation 22(1) of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987(57) or, in a case where that regulation does not apply, would be so paid if that regulation did apply; “a relevant authority” is an authority identified in column (1) of the Table in Part IV, and

• “relevant benefit” means income support, invalidity benefit, retirement pension, severe disablement allowance or sickness benefit, in a case where a claimant who is in receipt of housing benefit or council tax benefit, as the case may be, is also in receipt of income support.
