(b) H shall apply as if the total of the community charge benefit applicable amounts were the total of the community charge benefit applicable amounts calculated under paragraph 4, or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last calculated under that paragraph in respect of all appropriate authorities to which paragraph 5 did not apply in that calculation; and

(c) J shall apply as if the amount to be deducted to determine the balance of the total amount available were the housing benefit and the community charge benefit applicable amounts for appropriate authorities to which, in the calculation under paragraphs 4 and 5, or, if there has been more than one calculation under those paragraphs, the last such calculation, paragraph 5 applied.
