These Regulations further amend the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971). Regulation 2 makes provision to prevent any double deduction of ineligible charges, and to ensure that they are in fact deducted. Regulation 3 provides for the consequences of a case where the rent sought is reduced following a pre-tenancy determination by the rent officer and for the treatment of deductions for fuel, for meals and water charges, when there is a rent officer’s determination, and regulation 4 requires local authorities to provide certain information when making references to the rent officer.
