## Schedule 1: CALCULATION OF HOUSING BENEFIT SUBSIDY IN RESPECT OF ADMINISTRATION COSTS

### Part I: GENERAL INTERPRETATION

## 1 

(1) The additional sum which may be paid to an authority under section 135(5) of the Act shall be the housing benefit amount calculated in accordance with Part II with the adjustment, if any, calculated in accordance with Part III, plus, in the case of an acquiring authority, the addition calculated in accordance with Part IV.
(2) In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires,
“housing benefit amount” means the housing benefit amount calculated in accordance with Part II, and
“acquiring authority” means a new authority in Wales, which on 1st April 1996 became the authority required to fund and administer housing benefit pursuant to section 134 of the Act in respect of properties, where, before that date, the authority so required was the Development Board for Rural Wales.

### Part II: APPLICABLE AMOUNT

## 2 Housing benefit amount

For the purposes of Part I, the housing benefit amount shall be calculated by applying the following formula—
A×BC where—
A is—
(a) in the case of Scottish corporations, £1,130,105;
(b) in the case of authorities other than Scottish corporations—
(i) in England, £78,609,167;
(ii) in Wales, £3,271,747;
(iii) in Scotland, £10,259,051;
B—
(a) except where paragraph (b) below applies, in the case of an authority identified in column (1) of Schedule 10, is the aggregate of the amounts obtained by multiplying each figure prescribed in column (2)(a)(i) to (2)(b)(iv) of that Schedule for that authority by the figure appropriate to that category and authority prescribed in column (2)(a) or (b), as the case may be, of Schedule 11;
(b) in the case of an authority identified in column (1) of Schedule 12, is the aggregate amount determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above further multiplied by the figure specified for that authority in column (2) of that Schedule; and
C is, in the case of an authority referred to in—
(a) sub-paragraph (a) of the definition of A, 5,234,697.80;
(b) sub-paragraph (b)(i) of the definition of A, 835,889,667.52;

(d) sub-paragraph (b)(iii) of the definition of A, 88,284,678.16.

### Part III: ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT

(a) paragraph 7 applies to that claim, that authority shall be credited with £10;
(b) paragraph 8 applies to that claim, that authority shall be debited by £10.

## 5 

Where an authority’s total credits in accordance with paragraph 4(a) exceed that authority’s total debits in accordance with paragraph 4(b), the adjustment to the additional sum in paragraph 1 shall be to increase the amount otherwise payable to that authority by the sum by which those credits exceed those debits.

## 6 

Where an authority’s total debits in accordance with paragraph 4(b) exceed that authority’s total credits in accordance with paragraph 4(a), the adjustment to the additional sum in paragraph 1 shall be to reduce the amount otherwise payable to that authority by the sum by which those debits exceed those credits.

## 7 

This paragraph applies where a claim to which paragraph 4 applies has been made to an authority and that authority has within
(a) 14 days of the receipt of that claim by that authority, or
(b) 7 days of the receipt by that authority of all the information necessary to determine that claim,
determined that claim, provided that claim is determined by that authority within the 4 weeks following the last day.

This paragraph applies where a claim to which paragraph 4 applies has been made to an authority and that authority has not within
(a) 14 days of the receipt of that claim by that authority;
(b) 7 days of the receipt by that authority of all the information necessary to determine that claim, or
(c) the 4 weeks following the last day,
whichever is the later, determined that claim.

### Part IV: ADDITION FOR ACQUIRING AUTHORITIES

## 9 

The addition that, pursuant to Part I, is to be paid to an acquiring authority is to be calculated by reference to the formula—
ED×F where—
D is the total number of properties transferred by the Development Board for Rural Wales on 1st April 1996;
E is the total number of those properties in relation to which, on 1st April 1996, that acquiring authority was required to administer and fund any housing benefit; and

### Part I: GENERAL INTERPRETATION

## 1 

(1) The additional sum which may be paid to an appropriate authority under section 140(5) of the Act shall be the applicable amount calculated in accordance with Part II, with the adjustments, if any, calculated in accordance with Parts III and IV.

(b) in the case of an authority listed in column (1) of Schedule 12, is the aggregate amount determined in accordance with paragraph (a) above further multiplied by the figure specified for that authority in column (2) of that Schedule; and
C is, in the case of an appropriate authority—
(a) in England, 656,453,308.40;
(b) in Wales, 38,493,590.00;
(c) in Scotland, 78,027,540.25.

## 3 Calculation of applicable amount

(1) Subject to paragraphs 4 to 6, where in the case of an appropriate authority in England or in Wales—
(a) α (being the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount calculated under this Part in respect of that appropriate authority) exceeds β (being 120 per cent. of the relevant amount), the applicable amount for that appropriate authority for the relevant year shall be the sum calculated under paragraph 2 less the excess; or
(b) α (being the total of the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount calculated under this Part in respect of that appropriate authority) is less than Υ (being 95 per cent. of the relevant amount) the applicable amount for that appropriate authority shall be the sum calculated under paragraph 2 plus an amount equal to the difference between α and Υ.
(2) The relevant amount for the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 5 is—
(a) the aggregate of the housing benefit amount and council tax benefit amount payable to that appropriate authority for the financial year ending 31st March 1996 calculated in accordance with Schedules 1 and 2 to the 1996 Order (calculation of subsidy in respect of administration costs); except
(b) in the case of a new authority listed in column (1) of Schedule 13, the figure specified for that authority in column (2) of that Schedule.

## 4 Calculation of applicable amount

Where the total of the housing benefit amount and the additional sums calculated under Part I and paragraph 3, before any adjustment by reason of Part III or Part IV, is other than, for appropriate authorities—
(a) in England, £130,145,116;
(b) in Wales, £5,829,680,
the total of the applicable amount under this Part for an appropriate authority to which paragraph 3 does not apply shall be calculated, subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, by applying the following formula—
(D×FE)-G where—
D is the total of the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount calculated under this Part in respect of that appropriate authority;
E is the total of the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount calculated under this Part in respect of all appropriate authorities to whom paragraph 3 does not apply;
F is the balance of the total of the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount calculated under this Part for appropriate authorities after deduction of the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount as calculated under this Part for such appropriate authorities to whom paragraph 3 applies; and
G is the housing benefit amount for that appropriate authority.

## 5 Calculation of applicable amount

Where, in the case of an appropriate authority in England or in Wales, as the case may be—
(a) Σ (being the total of the housing benefit amount and the amount calculated under paragraph 4) exceeds β (being 120 per cent. of the relevant amount) the applicable amount calculated under this Part for that appropriate authority shall be the amount as calculated under paragraph 4 less the excess;
(b) Σ (being the total of the housing benefit amount and the amount calculated under paragraph 4) is less than Υ (being 95 per cent. of the relevant amount) the applicable amount calculated under this Part for that appropriate authority shall be the amount as calculated under paragraph 4 plus an amount equal to the difference between Σ and Υ.

## 6 Calculation of applicable amount

Until the applicable amount under this Part as calculated under paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 equals the amount specified in paragraph 2 as subsidy in respect of the cost of administering council tax benefit for appropriate authorities in England or in Wales, as the case may be, the formula set out in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 shall, subject to the modifications specified below, continue to apply to calculate the applicable amount under this Part for those appropriate authorities to whom neither paragraph 3 nor paragraph 5 has applied; and for that purpose—
(a) D shall apply as if the total of the applicable amount under this Part were the amount calculated under paragraph 4, 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) E shall apply as if the total of the applicable amount under this Part were the total calculated under paragraph 4, 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 whom paragraph 5 did not apply in that calculation; and
(c) F shall apply as if the amount to be deducted to determine the balance of the total amount available were the housing benefit amount and the applicable amount as calculated under this Part for appropriate authorities to whom, in the calculation under paragraphs 4 and 5, or, if there has been more than one calculation under those paragraphs, the last such calculation, paragraph 5 applied.

### Part III: ADJUSTMENT FACTOR FOR PRIORITISATION OF CLAIMS

## 7 

The adjustment referred to in paragraph 1 in relation to this Part shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions of this Part and in this Part “last day” has the meaning ascribed to that term in paragraph 8 of Schedule 5A to the Council Tax Benefit Regulations.

## 8 

In each case where a claim for council tax benefit, to which regulation 66(4) of the Council Tax Benefit Regulations applies, is made and
(a) paragraph 11 applies to that claim, that authority shall be credited with £10;
(b) paragraph 12 applies to that claim, that authority shall be debited by £10.

## 9 

Where an authority’s total credits in accordance with paragraph 8(a) exceed that authority’s total debits in accordance with paragraph 8(b), the adjustment to the additional sum in paragraph 1 shall be to increase the amount otherwise payable to that authority by the sum by which those credits exceed those debits.

## 10

## 13 Interpretation

(1) In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires—
“appropriate indicative rent level” means the indicative rent level for the category of dwelling into which the dwelling in question falls, as described in Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order except that, where a payment on account is made to a young individual, the category of dwelling shall be that within head (b) of paragraph 9(3) of that Schedule, less, in the case of a dwelling falling within that head or head (a) of that paragraph, any amount ineligible to be met under paragraph 1A or Part II of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (meal and fuel charges);
“ineligible amounts” means, except as provided in the definition of “property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” below,—
(a) any amount which the rent officer determines is attributable to the provision of services ineligible to be met by housing benefit, plus the amount in respect of fuel charges ineligible to be met under Part II of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (payments in respect of fuel charges);
(b) any amount in respect of amounts ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1A of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (amount ineligible for meals);
(c) where the dwelling is a hostel within the meaning of regulation 12A of the Housing Benefit Regulations (requirement to refer to rent officers), any amount ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to those Regulations (ineligible service charges), other than under sub-paragraphs (d) to (f) of that paragraph;
“property-specific rent”, “relevant rent” and “size-related rent” have, except as provided in the definition of “property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” below, the same meanings as are ascribed to them in paragraph 10 (interpretation) of Schedule 6 to the 1995 Order;
“property-specific rent less ineligible amounts” has the meaning otherwise ascribed to those terms in this paragraph, except in a case where the property-specific rent is an exceptionally high rent and the rent officer has notified the authority that that exceptionally high rent determined by him does not include a payment ineligible for housing benefit under paragraph 1(a)(i) or 4 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit Regulations, as the case may be (“ineligible payments”), when it means that exceptionally high rent less ineligible amounts other than ineligible payments,
and other expressions used in this Schedule and in the Rent Officers Order have the same meaning in this Schedule as they have in that Order.
(2) Except in a case to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, in this Schedule any reference to a rent officer’s determination is, in any case where there has been more than one such determination, to the last such determination.
(3) In a case where the last determination referred to in sub-paragraph (2) was made on the basis of—
(a) the terms of the tenancy of a dwelling; or
(b) the size or composition of the household occupying that dwelling,
which were not appropriate to the claim for a rent allowance in respect of which the allowance was granted, any reference to a rent officer’s determination is to the last such determination which was appropriate to that claim.

## Schedule 9: BENEFIT SAVINGS

### Part I: GENERAL INTERPRETATION

## 1 

(1) The additions to or deductions from, as the case may be, housing benefit subsidy or council tax benefit subsidy referred to in articles 13 and 21 shall be calculated in accordance with this Schedule.
(2) In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires—
A is equal to (B + C) × 32;
B is the total sum of housing benefit savings made by a relevant authority;
C is the total sum of housing benefit related savings made by a relevant authority;
D is equal to (E + F) × 32;
E is the total sum of council tax benefit savings made by a relevant authority;
F is the total sum of council tax benefit related savings made by a relevant authority; G, in the case of a relevant authority, is the figure prescribed in column (2) of the Table in Part IV for that authority;
H is 0.75 of the value of G;
I is 0.5 of the value of G;
“authorised person” means
(i) an officer of a relevant authority; or
(ii) an employee of a relevant authority’s contractor,
where that individual has been designated by that authority for the investigation of fraud;
“council tax benefit savings” means any amount which would have been allowed by way of council tax benefit to a claimant during a benefit week, but for the investigation and intervention of one or more authorised persons, and which would, had that amount been allowed as council tax benefit, have been fraudulent excess benefit, within the meaning of article 18(7), or in a case where only a proportion of that non-allowance was due to that investigation and intervention the amount shall be that proportion;
“council tax benefit related savings” means—
(i) where council tax benefit savings have been established and that investigation has also led to a determination by an adjudication officer that no relevant benefit, or less relevant benefit is payable, any specified amount of relevant benefit that would, but for that investigation and consequent determination, have been paid to that claimant; and
(ii) in a case where the council tax benefit savings were less than the total council tax benefit not allowed, the council tax benefit related savings shall be an amount determined by applying to the total of relevant benefit not paid a percentage equal to the percentage which those council tax benefit savings bear to the total council tax benefit not allowed, except that in neither case shall it include any amount which has been included in the housing benefit related savings for that authority;
“housing benefit savings” means any amount which would have been paid by way of housing benefit to a claimant during a benefit week, but for the investigation and intervention of one or more authorised persons, and which would, had that amount been paid as housing benefit, have been a fraudulent overpayment, within the meaning of article 10(5), or, in a case where only a proportion of that non-payment was due to that investigation and intervention, the amount shall be that proportion;
“housing benefit related savings” means—
(i) where housing benefit savings have been established and that investigation has also led to a determination by an adjudication officer that no relevant benefit or less relevant benefit is payable, any specified amount of relevant benefit that would, but for that investigation and consequent determination, have been paid to that claimant; and
(ii) in a case where the housing benefit savings were less than the total housing benefit not paid, the housing benefit related savings shall be an amount determined by applying to the total of relevant benefit not paid a percentage equal to the percentage which those housing benefit savings bear to the total housing benefit not paid;
“specified amount” means in relation to any particular claimant—
(i) in the case of income support, the amount payable in respect of a benefit week within the meaning prescribed therefor in regulation 2(1) of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987;
(ii) in the case of incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance or unemployment benefit, half of the fortnightly payment in arrears by which such benefit is to be paid pursuant to regulation 24(1) of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987 or, in a case where that regulation does not apply, would be so paid if that regulation did apply;
(iii) in the case of jobseeker’s allowance, the amount payable in respect of a benefit week within the meaning prescribed therefor in regulation 2(1) of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996;
(iv) in the case of retirement pension or widow’s pension, the amount payable in respect of the week in advance in which such benefit is to be paid pursuant to regulation 22(1) of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987 or, in a case where that regulation does not apply, would be so paid if that regulation did apply;
“a relevant authority” is an authority identified in column (1) of the Table in Part IV, and
“relevant benefit” means income support, incapacity benefit, jobseeker’s allowance, retirement pension, severe disablement allowance, unemployment benefit and widow’s pension, in a case where a claimant is in receipt of housing benefit or council tax benefit, as the case may be.

### Part II: HOUSING BENEFIT SAVINGS

## 2 Addition to housing benefit subsidy

(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in the case of a relevant authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are greater than H, the addition for that authority shall be 10 per cent. of the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
((A+D)-H)×A(A+D).
(2) In the case of a relevant authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are greater than G, the addition for that authority shall be the sum calculated for that authority in sub-paragraph (1) plus 15 per cent. of the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
((A+D)-G)×A(A+D).

## 3 Addition to housing benefit subsidy

In the case of a relevant authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) do not exceed H, but do exceed I, there shall be no addition or deduction under this Part for that authority.

## 4 Deduction from housing benefit subsidy

(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in the case of a relevant authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are less than I, the deduction for that authority shall be the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
((A+D)-I)×A(A+D).
(2) In a case where the value of G for a relevant authority is less than £60,000, there shall be no deduction for that authority.

### Part III: COUNCIL TAX BENEFIT SAVINGS

## 5 Council tax benefit savings

(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in the case of an authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are greater than H, the addition for that authority shall be 10 per cent. of the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
{(A+D)-H}×D(A+D).
(2) In the case of an authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are greater than G, the addition for that authority shall be the sum calculated for that authority in sub-paragraph (1) plus 15 per cent. of the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
{(A+D)-G}×D(A+D).

## 6 Council tax benefit savings

In the case of an authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) do not exceed H, but do exceed I, there shall be no addition or deduction under this Part for that authority.

## 7 Deduction from council tax benefit subsidy

(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in the case of an authority where the savings which are the sum of (A + D) are less than I, the deduction for that authority shall be the sum calculated by applying the following formula—
{(A+D)-I}×D(A+D).
(2) In a case where the value of G for a relevant authority is less than £60,000, there shall be no deduction for that authority.
