3.  Except in a case to which Part III applies, this Part applies where an authority applies to a rent officer for a determination to be made under the Rent Officers Order or the Rent Officers Order 1995 in relation to a dwelling and the officer makes such a determination.

4.  This Part also applies in a case where the dwelling A is in a hostel and, by virtue of regulation 12A(2) of the Housing Benefit Regulations(7) (exemptions from requirement to refer to rent officers), an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling A is not required, because the dwelling is regarded as similar to dwelling B in that hostel in respect of which a determination has been made, and in such a case the determination made in respect of dwelling B shall, for the purposes of this Part, be treated as if it were a determination in respect of dwelling A.

5.  This Part also applies in a case where a rent officer has made a determination in respect of a tenancy of a dwelling and by virtue of paragraph 2 of Schedule 1A to the Housing Benefit Regulations(8) (cases with existing determinations) a new determination is not required in respect of another tenancy of the dwelling and in such a case the determination made shall, for the purposes of this Part, be treated as if it were a determination made in respect of that tenancy.

6.  Except where paragraph 5 applies, this Part also applies in a case where an authority is required, under regulation 12A of the Housing Benefit Regulations (requirement to refer to rent officer), to apply for a determination in relation to a dwelling during the relevant year which a rent officer would be required to make, but the authority fails to apply for that determination, and, in such a case, the appropriate amount shall be nil.

Rent officers' property-specific rent

7.  Where —

(a)the rent officer determines a property-specific rent, but not a size-related rent; and

(b)the amount of eligible rent does not exceed the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts,

the appropriate amount in respect of the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.

8.—(1) Where—

(a)the rent officer determines a property-specific rent, but not a size-related rent; and

(b)the amount of eligible rent exceeds the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts,

then, for the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date, the appropriate amount shall be determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) or sub-paragraph (3), as the case may be.

(2) Where the allowance granted is the same as or is less than the excess—

(a)except in a case to which paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be nil;

(b)where paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be 60 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance.

(3) Where the allowance granted is greater than the excess the appropriate amount shall be

(a)except where paragraph 10 applies, nil per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess;

Rent officers' property-specific and size-related rents

9.—(1) Where the rent officer makes a determination that the dwelling exceeds the size criteria for its occupiers and determines both a property-specific rent and a size-related rent for that dwelling, the appropriate amount in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date shall be the appropriate amounts determined in accordance with the relevant sub-paragraphs of this paragraph.

(2) Where the eligible rent does not exceed the designated rent, less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.

(3) For the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent does not exceed the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.

(4) For the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts—

(a)where the allowance is the same as or is less than the excess—

(i)except in a case to which paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be nil;

(ii)where paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be 60 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance;

(b)where the allowance granted is greater than the excess the appropriate amount shall be—

(i)except where paragraph 10 applies, nil per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess;

(ii)where paragraph 10 applies, 60 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,

and in either case 95 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which remains after deducting the excess.

(5) For the period after the end of that 13 week period, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the designated rent less ineligible amounts—

(a)where the allowance is the same as or is less than the excess—

(i)except in a case to which paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be nil;

(ii)where paragraph 10 applies, the appropriate amount shall be 60 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance;

(b)where the allowance granted is greater than the excess the appropriate amount shall be—

(i)except where paragraph 10 applies, nil per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess;

(ii)where paragraph 10 applies, 60 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,

and in either case 95 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure which remains after deducting the excess.

Restriction on unreasonable rents or on rent increases

(b)has not been recovered pursuant to either regulation 91(3) or regulation 99 (recoverable overpayments)(13) of the Housing Benefit Regulations.

(e)in a case where the rent officer has made a re-determination under paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Rent Officers Order or the Rent Officers Order 1995, as the case may be, the relevant date is

whichever is the earlier date in the relevant year.

(b)in a case where sub-paragraph (a) does not apply, the appropriate amount shall be 95 per cent. of the eligible rent as determined by the authority.

15.  In a case where article 16(4)(c) applies, the appropriate amount shall be, for the period of 13 weeks prescribed in regulation 11(9) of the Housing Benefit Regulations, 95 per cent. of the eligible rent less ineligible amounts.

PART IVGENERAL AND INTERPRETATION

Apportionment

16.  For the purposes of this Schedule, where more than one person is liable to make payments in respect of a dwelling the designated rent shall be apportioned on the same basis as such payments are apportioned under regulation 10(5) of the Housing Benefit Regulations (rent).

Interpretation

17.—(1) In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires—

“appropriate indicative rent level” means the indicative rent level for the category of dwelling into which the dwelling in question falls, as described in paragraph 11 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order or paragraph 9 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order 1995, as the case may be, except that, where a payment on account is made to a young individual, the category of dwelling shall be that within head (b) of paragraph 9(3) of that Schedule, less, in the case of a dwelling falling within that head or head (a) of that paragraph, any amount ineligible to be met under paragraph 1A or Part II of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (meal and fuel charges);

“designated rent” means—

(a)

in a case where a rent officer has determined both a property-specific rent and a size-related rent, whichever is the lower of the two;

(b)

in a case where a rent officer has determined only a property-specific rent or a size-related rent, as the case may be, that rent;

“ineligible amounts” means, except as provided in the definition of “property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” below—

(a)

any amount which the rent officer determines is attributable to the provision of services ineligible to be met by housing benefit, plus the amount in respect of fuel charges ineligible to be met under Part II of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (payments in respect of fuel charges);

(b)

any amount in respect of amounts ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1A of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (amount ineligible for meals)(16);

(c)

where the dwelling is a hostel within the meaning of regulation 12A of the Housing Benefit Regulations (requirement to refer to rent officers), any amount ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to those Regulations (ineligible service charges)(17), other than under sub-paragraphs (d) to (f) of that paragraph;

“property-specific rent”, except as provided in the definition of “property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” below, means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 1(2) of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order or to the Rent Officers Order 1995, as the case may be, except in a case where a rent officer has made a rent determination under paragraph 3 of that Schedule, when it means that rent;

“property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” has the meaning otherwise ascribed to those terms in this paragraph, except, subject to article 23(1), in a case where the property-specific rent is an exceptionally high rent and the rent officer has notified the authority that the exceptionally high rent determined by him does not include a payment ineligible for housing benefit under paragraph 1(a)(i) or 4 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (ineligible service charges for food and fuel), as the case may be (“ineligible payments”), when it means that exceptionally high rent less ineligible amounts other than ineligible payments;

“size-related rent” means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order or the Rent Officers Order 1995, as the case may be,

and other expressions used both in this Schedule and in the Rent Officers Order or the Rent Officers Order 1995, as the case may be, or in both this Schedule and in regulation 11 of the Housing Benefit Regulations shall have the same meanings in this Schedule as they have in that Order or in that regulation, as the case may be.

(2) Except in a case to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, in this Schedule any reference to a rent officer’s determination is, in any case where there has been more than one such determination, a reference to the last such determination.

(3) In a case where the last determination referred to in sub-paragraph (2) was made on the basis of—

(a)the terms of the tenancy of a dwelling; or

(b)the size or composition of the household occupying that dwelling,

which were not appropriate to the claim for a rent allowance in respect of which the allowance was granted, any reference to a rent officer’s determination is to the last such determination which was appropriate to that claim.
