Paragraph 2 Calculation of the appropriate amount

Where the rent officer determines a property-specific rent, does not make a determination under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order and the amount of eligible rent does not exceed the property-specific rent less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount in respect of the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to the eligible rent.
