Determine the purchase price of the accommodation to which the alternative finance payments relate.
Determine the identified amount which is the lower of—
(a)the amount resulting from step 1; and

In respect of a UC claimant, apply the following formula to achieve a monthly sum—
In either case—
“A” is the identified amount in step 2,

(b)the amount of any subsequent payments made by the claimant or any partner to another party to the alternative finance arrangements before—
(i)the relevant date, or
(ii)in the case of an existing claimant, the date on which the claimant's qualifying benefit first included an amount for owner-occupier payments,
which reduce the amount owed by the claimant under the alternative finance arrangements.
(4) Subject to paragraph (5), any variation in the amount for the time being owing in connection with alternative finance arrangements is not to be taken into account after the relevant date until such time as the Department recalculates the amount which shall occur—
