# The Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992, Regulation 60: Increases of weekly amounts for exceptional circumstances

Extent: E+W+S

The appropriate authority may modify the provisions of Part VI of these Regulations (amount of benefit) so that, if it considers the circumstances of a person for whom a claim for council tax benefit has been made to be exceptional, the amount of any council tax benefit to be allowed or paid in his case may be increased to an extent which does not cause the total council tax benefit to be allowed or paid to him in any week to exceed—
(a) the amount AB to which regulation 51(1) refers (maximum council tax benefit); or
(b) in the case of an alternative maximum council tax benefit the highest of the amounts specified in respect of a day in Schedule 2 (alternative maximum council tax benefit),
multiplied by 7.
