Incomplete weeks of benefit

34.—(1) Where a claim for income support is made for a period (the relevant period) which is not a complete benefit week and a payment of income is to be taken into account in that period, for the purposes of calculating the amount to be taken into account—

(a)the claimant shall be treated as if he had a benefit week beginning seven days before the end of the relevant period; and

(b)except where paragraph (2) or (3) applies, the amount to be taken into account in the relevant period shall be determined—

(i)by multiplying the weekly amount of the payment determined under regulation 32(1) (calculation of weekly amount of income) less any sum which would fall to be disregarded from that amount under Schedule 8 or, as the case may be, 9 (earnings and other income to be disregarded) by the number equal to the number of days in the relevant period; and

(ii)by dividing the product by 7.

(2) Where entitlement to income support would otherwise end before the last day of a benefit week (the relevant week) and a payment of income is to be taken into account in that week, for the purposes of calculating the amount to be taken into account in the relevant week—

(a)the claimant shall be treated as if he had a benefit week beginning seven days before the last day of the relevant week; and

(b)except where paragraph (3) applies, the amount to be taken into account shall be determined—

(i)by multiplying the weekly amount of the payment determined under regulation 32(1) less any sum which would fall to be disregarded from that amount under Schedule 8 or, as the case may be, 9 by the number equal to the number of days in the relevant week in respect of which there is entitlement to income support; and

(ii)by dividing the product by 7.

(3)The amount of any unemployment benefit, sickness or invalidity benefit, or severe disablement allowance under the Social Security Act to be taken into account under paragraph (1) or (2) shall be the amount of benefit payable in respect of those days for which income support is payable.
