Where it has been determined that an award of a jobseeker’s allowance is to be reduced in accordance with section 6J or 6K of the Act, the amount of the reduction for each benefit week in respect of which a reduction has effect is to be calculated as follows.

• Step 1

  Take the number of days—

  1. (a)

     in the benefit week; or

  2. (b)

     if lower, in the total outstanding reduction period,

  and deduct any days in that benefit week or total outstanding reduction period for which the reduction is suspended in accordance with regulation 24.

• Step 2

  Multiply the number of days produced by step 1 by the daily reduction rate.

• Step 3

  Deduct the amount produced by step 2 from the amount of the award of jobseeker’s allowance for the benefit week.
