Paragraph 7 Calculation of applicable and further amounts

Until the council tax benefit amounts under this Part as calculated under paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 equal the amount specified in paragraphs 2 and 3 as subsidy in respect of the costs of administering council tax benefit for appropriate authorities in England or in Wales, as the case may be, the formula set out in paragraph 5 and paragraph 6 shall, subject to the modifications specified below, continue to apply to calculate the council tax benefit amounts under this Part for those appropriate authorities to whom neither paragraph 4 nor paragraph 6 has applied; and for that purpose—

(a)

H shall apply as if the total of the council tax benefit amounts under this Part were the amount calculated under paragraph 5, or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last amount calculated under that paragraph in respect of the appropriate authority;

(b)

J shall apply as if the total of the council tax benefit amounts under this Part were the total of the council tax benefit amounts calculated under paragraph 5, or, if by virtue of this paragraph there has been more than one calculation, the last amount calculated under that paragraph in respect of all appropriate authorities to which paragraph 6 did not apply in that calculation; and

(c)

K shall apply as if the amount to be deducted to determine the balance of the total amount available were the housing benefit amounts as calculated under Part II of Schedule 1 and the council tax benefit amounts as calculated under this Part for appropriate authorities to whom, in the calculation under paragraphs 5 and 6, or, if there has been more than one calculation under those paragraphs, the last such calculation, paragraph 6 applied.
