Regulation 57 Increases of weekly amounts for exceptional circumstancesI1

The appropriate authority may modify the provisions of Part VI of these Regulations (amount of benefit) so that, if it considers the circumstances of a person for whom a claim for housing benefit has been made to be exceptional, the amount of housing benefit to be paid in his case may be increased to an extent which does not cause the total housing benefit to be paid to him for any week to exceed his maximum housing benefit for that week.
