• H is the total of the housing benefit applicable and further amounts as calculated under paragraphs 2 and 3 in respect of all Scottish housing authorities to whom paragraph 4 does not apply; and

• J is the balance of the total of the housing benefit applicable and further amounts as calculated under paragraphs 2 and 3 for Scottish housing authorities after deduction of the housing benefit applicable and further amounts as calculated under paragraphs 2 and 3 for such appropriate authorities to which paragraph 4 applies.
