Paragraph 97 Amount of extended reduction: persons who are not pensioners
England, Wales and Scotland
For any week during the extended reduction period the amount of the extended reduction to which an applicant is entitled is to be the higher of—
the amount of the reduction under this scheme to which the applicant was entitled by virtue of falling within any of classes D to F in the last reduction week before the applicant or the applicant’s partner ceased to be entitled to a qualifying income-related benefit;
the amount of reduction under this scheme to which the applicant would be entitled by virtue of falling within any of classes D to F for any reduction week during the extended reduction period, if paragraph 95 (extended reductions: persons who are not pensioners) did not apply to the applicant; or
the amount of reduction under this scheme to which the applicant’s partner would be entitled by virtue of falling within any of classes D to F, if paragraph 95 did not apply to the applicant.
Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply in the case of a mover.
Where an applicant is in receipt of an extended reduction under this paragraph and the applicant’s partner makes an application for a reduction under this scheme, no amount of reduction under this scheme is to be awarded by the authority during the extended reduction period.
