Determination of whether a benefit cap applies E+W+S

75B.   The relevant authority need not determine whether the benefit cap applies, or whether to change the amount of any reduction made in accordance with regulation 75D, unless it receives notification from the Secretary of State that the benefit cap may apply or that there has been a change in the amount of a welfare benefit to which the claimant is entitled (but nothing shall prevent the relevant authority making a determination as to whether the benefit cap applies, or the amount of any reduction, if it has information or evidence suggesting that it should do so).]
