(i)the rate last determined increased by 4 per cent; or
(ii)the maximum local housing allowance for that category of accommodation listed in column (2) of the table in paragraph 4 (Maximum local housing allowance) where that is lower than or equal to the rate last determined increased by 4 per cent;
(b)for any category of accommodation not listed in column 2 of the table in paragraph 6 in relation to that broad rental market area, either—
(i)the rent at the 30th percentile determined in accordance with paragraph 3 (Rent at the 30th percentile); or

(3) For all other broad rental market areas the local housing allowance for a category of accommodation is, either—
(a)the rent at the 30th percentile determined in accordance with paragraph 3; or
(b)the rate last determined for that category of accommodation increased by 1 per cent. where that is lower than or equal to the rent at the 30th percentile determined in accordance with paragraph 3.
(4) Where the local housing allowance would otherwise not be a whole number of pence, it must be rounded to the nearest whole penny by disregarding any amount less than half a penny and treating any amount of half a penny or more as a whole penny.”;

(b)in the 12 month period ending on the 30th day of the September preceding the date of the determination.”;
(ii)for sub-paragraph (6) substitute—

Asesiadau Effaith
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
