Paragraph 5 Calculation of Applicable and Further Amounts

Where the total of all the housing benefit amounts calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the additional sums calculated under Part I and paragraph 4, less any amount paid by reason of Part IV, is other than, for appropriate authorities–

the total of the community charge benefit amounts under this Part for an appropriate authority to which paragraph 4 does not apply shall be calculated, subject to paragraphs 6 and 7, by applying the following formula–

$$\mathrm{G}\times \genfrac{}{}{0.1ex}{}{\mathrm{J}}{\mathrm{H}}-\mathrm{K}$$

where–

• G is the total of the housing benefit amounts calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the community charge benefit amounts calculated under this Part in respect of that appropriate authority;

• H is the total of the housing benefit amounts calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the community charge benefit amounts calculated under this Part in respect of all appropriate authorities to whom paragraph 4 does not apply;

• J is the balance of the total of housing benefit amounts calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the community charge benefit amounts calculated under this Part for appropriate authorities after deduction of the housing benefit amounts as calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the community charge benefit amounts as calculated under this Part for such appropriate authorities to whom paragraph 4 applies; and

• K is the total of the housing benefit amounts calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 for that appropriate authority.
