36.—(1) For any week during the extended reduction period the amount of the extended reduction to which an applicant is entitled is to be the greater of the amount of the reduction under an authority’s scheme to which—
(a)the applicant was entitled by virtue of falling within class C or D in the last reduction week before the applicant or the applicant’s partner ceased to be entitled to a qualifying income-related benefit;
(b)the applicant would be entitled by virtue of falling within class C or D for any reduction week during the extended reduction period, if paragraph 34 (extended reductions: persons who are not pensioners) did not apply to the applicant; or
(c)the applicant’s partner would be entitled by virtue of falling within class C or D, if paragraph 34 did not apply to the applicant.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of a mover.
(3) Where an applicant is in receipt of an extended reduction under this paragraph and the applicant’s partner makes an application for a reduction under an authority’s scheme, no amount of reduction under an authority’s scheme is to be awarded by the authority during the extended reduction period.
