Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

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.
