(a)does not exceed a week, the weekly amount shall be the amount of that payment;

(i)in a case where that period is a month, by multiplying the amount of the payment by 12 and dividing the product by 52;

(6) Where the amount of the claimant's income fluctuates and has changed more than once, or a claimant's regular pattern of work is such that he does not work every week, the foregoing paragraphs may be modified so that the weekly amount of his income is determined by reference to his average weekly income—

(a)if there is a recognisable cycle of work, over the period of one complete cycle (including, where the cycle involves periods in which the claimant does no work, those periods but disregarding any other absences);

(b)in any other case, over a period of five weeks or such other period as may, in the particular case, enable the claimant's average weekly income to be determined more accurately.

(i)does not coincide with a week in his partner's period of normal employment, 3 times the total of the amounts for that week specified for the purposes of paragraph (1)(b);

(7) In this regulation, the expressions “normal employment”, “off-season” and “seasonal worker” have the meanings assigned to those expressions in regulation 21 of the Social Security (Unemployment, Sickness and Invalidity Benefit) Regulations 1983 F39 (additional condition with respect to receipt of unemployment benefit) except that the expression “employment” in that regulation shall be construed as if it included a reference to employment as a self-employed earner.
