## 3 Rebates and allowances

(1) For the purposes of section 30(2) of the Act, an authority’s subsidy for the relevant year shall, subject to paragraph (2), be–
(a) in the case of an authority to which articles 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 do not apply, 97 per cent. of its qualifying expenditure;

plus, in each case, the addition, where applicable, under article 12.
(2) Where the authority is the Scottish Homes or a new town corporation in Scotland, its subsidy for the relevant year shall include a further sum being–

for the purposes of article 3(1)(b), the appropriate amount for the relevant year in respect of such part shall be 25 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure so attributable.
(2) This article shall not apply in a case to which article 9 applies.

## 5 Disproportionate rent increase

(1) Where the average rent increase of an authority’s Category A tenants is greater than the average rent increase of their Category B tenants, for the purposes of article 3(1)(b), the appropriate amount for such part of the qualifying expenditure as is attributable to rent rebates granted during the relevant year shall be–
(a) 25 per cent. of that portion of the qualifying expenditure as is determined in accordance with paragraph (3); and
(b) 97 per cent. of the balance.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the average rent increase shall be determined by comparing the average rents of Category A tenants or, as the case may be, Category B tenants on the first relevant date with their average rent on the second relevant date.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), the portion of the qualifying expenditure shall be determined in accordance with the formula–
A-(A×BC) Where–
A is the total of rent rebates granted by the authority to Category A tenants and other tenants during the relevant year;

(b) the eligible rent,
as the authority may determine, provided that wherever the expression “rent” occurs in paragraphs (1) to (3) it has the same meaning throughout.
(5) This article shall not apply in a case to which article 9 applies.

## 6 Treatment of high rents

(1) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), where any part of the qualifying expenditure of an authority within an area listed in column 1 of Schedule 3 is attributable to any allowance granted in respect of a person whose weekly eligible rent exceeds the threshold specified in relation to that authority in column 2 of that Schedule for the purposes of article 3(1)(b), the appropriate amount in respect of that allowance shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph (2).
(2) Where paragraph (1) applies–
(a) if the allowance granted is the same as or is less than the excess of eligible rent over the threshold, the appropriate amount shall be 25 per cent. of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance;
(b) if the allowance granted is greater than the excess of the eligible rent over the threshold, the appropriate amount shall be the aggregate of 25 per cent. of the portion of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance which is equal to the excess and 97 per cent. of the balance.
(3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an allowance payable by an authority in respect of–
(a) rents which exceed the threshold and which are registered in respect of a dwelling under Part IV, V or VI of the Rent Act 1977 or Part V, VI or VII of the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 or which have been determined by a rent assessment committee in respect of a dwelling under Part I of the Housing Act 1988 or Part II of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988; or
(b) rents which exceed the threshold and which have been referred to the rent officer under the Rent Act 1977 or the Rent (Scotland) Act 1984 but not registered by him because he is satisfied the rent is at or below the fair rent level and he has in writing so notified the authority; or
(c) rents which exceed the threshold where the relevant tenancy is one to which, before 15th January 1989, the provisions of sections 56 to 58 of the Housing Act 1980 applied.
(4) This article shall not apply in a case to which article 7 or 9 applies.

## 7 Rent Officers' determinations

(1) Where this article applies the deductions referred to in article 1(3) are deductions, from allowances granted in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date, calculated in accordance with Schedule 4.
(2) Subject to article 8, this article applies where–
(a) an authority applies to a rent officer for a determination in relation to a dwelling under the Rent Officers Order; and
(b) the officer makes a determination under that Order.
(3) Except where paragraph (4) applies, and subject to article 8, this article applies where an authority could have applied for a determination in relation to a dwelling during the relevant year under Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order which a rent officer would have been required to make but the authority fails to apply for the determination.
(4) Subject to article 8, this article applies where an authority makes an application to a rent officer for a determination in a pre-commencement case under regulation 12A(5) of the Regulations; and for the purposes of calculating the deduction under this article the assumptions made in paragraph (6) of that regulation shall apply.
(5) This article applies where–
(a) the dwelling (A) is in a hostel; and
(b) by virtue of regulation 12A(2) of the Regulations an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling is not required because the dwelling is regarded as similar to another dwelling (B) in that hostel in respect of which a determination has been made, and in such a case the determination made in respect of dwelling (B) shall, for the purposes of this article, be treated as if it were a determination in respect of dwelling (A).
(6) Subject to article 8, this article applies where a rent officer has made a determination in respect of a tenancy of a dwelling and by virtue of paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to the Rent Officers Order a new determination is not required in respect of another tenancy of the dwelling, and in such a case the determination made shall, for the purposes of this article, be treated as if it were a determination made in respect of that tenancy.
(7) Where a determination as to the rent which a landlord might reasonably be expected to obtain in respect of a dwelling is made by a rent assessment committee following a determination made by a rent officer under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order, this article shall cease to apply in so far as it relates to a determination made by a rent officer under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order from the date on which the committee’s determination takes effect.

## 8 Exception to article 7

(1) This article shall apply in the case of any allowances granted in respect of a period ending not later than 31st October 1989 in the case of which–
(a) disregarding this article, article 7 would apply otherwise than by virtue of paragraph (5) thereof, and
(b) if article 7 did not apply, article 6 would apply,
in this article referred to as “the relevant allowances”.
(2) Where the authority–
(a) has made estimates of its likely subsidy in respect of the relevant allowances on the basis of proposals made by the Secretary of State as to the provisions now made by article 6 and Schedule 3 (disregarding the reference in article 6(4) to article 7), and
(b) has good reason for not making the calculations required by Schedule 4,
then in the case of the relevant allowances article 7 shall not apply and, accordingly, article 6 shall apply.

## 9 Treatment of certain residential accommodation

(a) if the rebate granted is the same as or less than the difference between the weekly eligible rent and the appropriate maximum amount, nil per cent. of the qualifying expenditure attributable to such rebate;
(b) if the rebate granted is greater than the difference between the weekly eligible rent and the appropriate maximum amount, nil per cent. of the portion of qualifying expenditure attributable to such rebate which is equal to the excess and 97 per cent. of the balance.
(2) In paragraph (1) the appropriate maximum amount shall be determined in accordance with the formula–
(A×B)-C Where–
A is the weekly amount specified in column (2) of Schedule 5 in relation to an authority specified in column (1) of that Schedule;
B is the number equal to the number of persons aged 11 or over in respect of whom the accommodation has been made available; and
C is the product of £6 multiplied by the number equal to the number of persons aged under 11 in respect of whom the accommodation has been made available.

(2) The amount referred to in paragraph (1) shall be the additional sum payable to the authority calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 to the Housing Benefit (Subsidy) Order 1989.

## 4 

Where the total of additional sums calculated under paragraphs 1 and 3 is less or more than–
(a) for new town corporations in England, Wales or Scotland, the Development Board for Rural Wales or the Scottish Homes, £1,842,000; or

(ii) in Wales, £4,950,000; or
(iii) in Scotland, £12,000,000,
the amount of the additional sum for an authority to which paragraph 3 does not apply shall be calculated, subject to paragraph 5, in accordance with the following formula–
J×LK Where–
J is the additional sum calculated under paragraph 1 in respect of the authority;
K is the total of the additional sums calculated under paragraph 1 in respect of all authorities to which paragraph 3 does not apply in the category specified in sub-paragraph (a), (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this paragraph respectively;
L is the balance of the total amount specified in paragraph 1 available as subsidy in respect of the cost of administering housing benefit for authorities in the category specified in sub-paragraph (a), (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this paragraph respectively, after deduction of the additional sums for such authorities to which paragraph 3 applies.

## 5 

(1) If the additional sum for an authority for the relevant year as calculated under paragraph 4–

## Schedule 4: RENT OFFICERS DETERMINATIONS

## 1 Calculation of deductions

The deductions–
(a) in a case to which paragraph (2), (4), (5) or (6) of article 7 applies, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 or 3 as appropriate;
(b) in a case to which paragraph (3) of that article applies, shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 6.

## 2 Reasonable market rent

Where the rent officer determines a reasonable market rent and the amount of eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts, the amount to be deducted from allowances granted in respect of the period beginning with the relevant date and ending with the termination date shall be–
(a) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted, whichever is the lower, or
(b) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between–
(i) the amount determined in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph; and
(ii) the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50.

## 3 Determination as to size

Subject to paragraph 4, where the rent officer makes a determination under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 of the Rent Officers Order that the dwelling exceeds the size criteria for its occupiers and he determines a reasonable market rent and a comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, the amount to be deducted from allowances granted in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date shall be–
(a) for the period of 13 weeks beginning on the relevant date or, if shorter, for the period beginning on that date and ending on the termination date, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts–
(i) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted in respect of that period, whichever is the lower or
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50;
(b) for the period after the end of that period, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation less ineligible amounts,
(i) an amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted in respect of that period, whichever is the lower or
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and multiplying the quotient by 50.

## 4 Modification where determination is made as to size

(1) Where the rent officer has made a determination under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order before paragraph (1) of article 2 of the Amendment Order came into force and it is probable that had that amendment been in force at the time of the determination–
(a) the rent officer would not have made the determination that the dwelling exceeded the size criteria, the amount to be deducted from allowances provided in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date shall be, if the amount of the eligible rent exceeds the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts,
(i) the amount equal to 100% of the excess or the amount of the allowances granted, whichever is the lower or
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, the difference between the amount determined in accordance with head of this sub-paragraph and the amount obtained by dividing that amount by 97 and by multiplying the quotient by 50; or
(b) the rent officer would have determined a higher comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, the comparable rent shall be increased by an amount determined in accordance with the formula–
BA×(C-D),
unless it is impracticable for an authority to calculate its subsidy otherwise than by reference to the determination actually made by the rent officer.
(2) In sub-paragraph (1)(b) of this paragraph–
“A” means the number equal to the number of rooms in excess of the size criteria which the rent officer has determined as suitable;
“B” means the number equal to the number of rooms in excess of the size criteria which it is probable the rent officer would have determined as suitable had the amendment been in force;

“the Amendment Order” means the Rent Officers (Additional Functions) (Amendment) Order 1989 or, as the case may be, the Rent Officers (Additional Functions) (Scotland) Amendment Order 1989.

## 5 Modification where determination is made as to size

(ii) the date on which the benefit period ends, or if it ends before 17 April 1989, the date on which the next benefit period ends,
whichever is the earlier;
(c) in a case which would be an excluded tenancy under paragraph 1 of Schedule 2 to the Rent Officers Order but for the change to which sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of, or the rent increase to which sub-paragraph (c) of, that paragraph refers, the relevant date is–
(i) if the change or, as the case may be, rent increase affects a person’s entitlement to the allowance, the date on which his entitlement is affected;
(ii) if his entitlement is not affected, the date on which the change or, as the case may be, rent increase occurs;
(d) in a case where a rent officer makes both an interim determination and a further determination in accordance with paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order, the relevant date is–
(i) if the reasonable market rent determined under the further determination is higher than or equal to the amount determined under the interim determination, the date determined under the foregoing sub-paragraphs of this paragraph as appropriate;
(ii) if the reasonable market rent determined under the further determination is lower than the amount determined under the interim determination, the date on which the further determination is made by the rent officer or, if the authority has already paid benefit for the week in which that date falls, the following Monday, whichever the authority determines;
(e) in a case where the rent officer has made a re-determination under paragraph 1 of Schedule 4 to the Rent Officers Order, the relevant date is–
(i) if the reasonable market rent or, as the case may be, comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation determined under the re-determination is higher than or equal to the amount determined under the original determination, the date determined under the foregoing sub-paragraphs of this paragraph as appropriate;
(ii) if the reasonable market rent or, as the case may be, comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation determined under the re-determination is lower than the amount determined under the original determination, the date on which the re-determination is made by the rent officer or, if the authority has already paid benefit for the week in which that date falls, the following Monday, whichever the authority determines;
(f) in a case where–
(i) the dwelling is in a hostel; and
(ii) by virtue of regulation 12A(2) of the Regulations an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling is not required; and
(iii) there is current, on 9th October 1989, a benefit period relating to a claim for an allowance in relation to the dwelling,
the relevant date is the date (after that date) on which any change of circumstances takes effect or the date on which the benefit period subsequent to the benefit period current on 9th October 1989, begins, whichever is the earlier;
(g) in a case where–
(i) immediately before 10th April 1989 one of the occupiers of the dwelling was in receipt of income support under the Act and his applicable amount fell to be calculated in accordance with regulation 20 or regulation 71(1)(b) of, or paragraph 17 of Schedule 7 to, the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987; and
(ii) there is, on 10th April 1989, a benefit period relating to a claim for an allowance in relation to the dwelling,
the relevant date is the date (after 16th April 1989) on which any change of circumstances takes effect or the date on which the benefit period subsequent to the benefit period on 10th April 1989, begins, whichever is the earlier;
(h) in a case where–
(i) the dwelling is an assured tenancy by virtue of the Housing Act 1988 granted after 15th January 1989 but before 1st April 1989; and
(ii) there is, on 1st April 1989, a benefit period relating to a claim for an allowance in relation to the dwelling,
the relevant date is the date (after 16th April 1989) on which a relevant change of circumstances takes effect or the date on which the benefit period subsequent to the benefit period on 10th April 1989, begins, whichever is the earlier.

## 8 Termination date

For the purposes of this Schedule “termination date” means–
(a) 31st March 1990; or
(b) the date on which a new determination by the rent officer in relation to the same dwelling is made; or
(c) the end of the tenancy in relation to which the determination is made,
whichever is earlier.

## 9 Apportionment

For the purposes of this Schedule where more than one person is liable to make payments in respect of a dwelling the “comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation” or “reasonable market rent” shall be apportioned on the same basis as such payments are apportioned under regulation 10(5) of the Regulations.

## 10 Interpretation

In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires–
“comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation” means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order;
“ineligible amounts” means–
(a) any amount which the rent officer determines under paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order is attributable to the provision of services ineligible to be met by housing benefit, except to the extent that it relates to fuel charges, plus the amount in respect of such charges ineligible to be met under Part II of Schedule 1 to the Regulations;
(b) for a period beginning on or after 5th September 1989, in England and Wales, and 6th September 1989, in Scotland, any amount in respect of amounts ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1A of Schedule 1 to the Regulations;
(c) where the dwelling is a hostel within the meaning of regulation 12A of the Regulations (requirement to refer to rent officers), for the period beginning on or after 9th October 1989, any amount ineligible to be met by housing benefit under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Regulations, other than under sub-paragraphs (d) to (f) of that paragraph,
“reasonable market rent” means the rent determined by a rent officer under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order;
and other expressions have the same meanings as in the Rent Officers Order.

## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision for the calculation of housing benefit subsidy payable under sections 30(2), (2A) and (3) of the Social Security Act 1986 to authorities who grant rent rebates or allowances, rate rebates or, in Scotland, community charge rebates under that Act in the year ending 31st March 1990.
The Order sets out the manner in which the total figure for an authority’s subsidy in respect of rebates and allowances for the year is calculated (articles 2(a) and 3 to 11 and Schedules 2, 3, 4 and 5), and the manner of calculating the additional sum payable to an authority in respect of the costs of administering housing benefit (article 2(b) and Schedules 1 and 6).
The Order makes provision for additions and deductions to subsidy in respect of rebates or allowances (articles 12 and 13) and for the modification of the provisions for subsidy in respect of payments of housing benefit in excess of entitlement, made before 1st April 1988 under section 32 of the Social Security and Housing Benefits Act 1982 and discovered in the relevant year (article 14).
