(1) Subject to paragraph 6, 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 for that dwelling and a comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, the appropriate amount in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date shall be the appropriate amounts determined in accordance with the relevant sub-paragraphs of this paragraph.
(2) 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 does not exceed the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to the reasonable market rent less ineligible amounts.
(3) 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 the appropriate amount shall be—
(a) where the allowance granted is the same as or is less than the excess—
(i) except where paragraph 5 applies, nil per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance,
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, 50 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance;
(b) where the allowance granted is greater than the excess—
(i) except where paragraph 5 applies, nil per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, 50 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,
and in either case 95 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which remains after deducting the excess.
(4) For the period after the end of that 13 week period, if the amount of the eligible rent does not exceed the comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation less ineligible amounts, the appropriate amount shall be 95 per cent. of that part of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to the comparable market rent for suitably sized accommodation less ineligible amounts.
(5) 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 the appropriate amount shall be—
(a) where the allowance granted is the same as or is less than the excess—
(i) except where paragraph 5 applies, nil per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance,
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, 50 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure attributable to such allowance;
(b) where the allowance granted is greater than the excess—
(i) except where paragraph 5 applies, nil per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,
(ii) where paragraph 5 applies, 50 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which is equal to the excess,
and in either case 95 per cent. of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure which remains after deducting the excess.
5

6 
Where—
(a) before 1st April 1990 the rent officer had determined a reasonable market rent or a comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation, as the case may be; and
(b) an amount was deducted from the eligible rent under regulation 10(3)(a) and (6) of the Housing Benefit Regulations as in force immediately before 1st April 1990 in respect of domestic rates, the reasonable market rent or, as the case may be, the comparable rent for suitably sized accommodation used as the basis of the calculation in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule, as the case may be, shall be increased by an amount equivalent to the amounts so deducted from the eligible rent in respect of domestic rates in respect of the period beginning on the relevant date and ending on the termination date.
7 
For any period in respect of which article 8(3) applies, the appropriate amount shall be nil per cent. of so much of the housing benefit qualifying expenditure as is attributable to any allowances granted.
8

the relevant date is the date on which the relevant change of circumstances takes effect for the purposes of regulation 68 of the Housing Benefit Regulations (date on which change of circumstances is to take effect) or, if the relevant change of circumstances does not affect entitlement to an allowance, the Monday following the date on which the relevant change occurred;
(d) in a case where—
(i) the tenancy is not an excluded tenancy within the meaning of Schedule 1A to the Housing Benefit Regulations (excluded tenancies); and
(ii) by virtue of regulation 12A of the Housing Benefit Regulations (requirements to refer to rent officers) an application for a determination in respect of that dwelling is not required; but nevertheless
(iii) the authority applies for a rent officer’s determination in respect of that dwelling,
the relevant date is the Monday following the date on or after 1st April 1991 on which the authority applied to the rent officer for the determination;
(e) in a case where a rent officer makes both an interim determination and a further determination in accordance with paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 to the Rent Officers Order, the relevant date is—
(i) if the reasonable market rent determined under the futher 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 Monday following the date on which the further determination is made by the rent officer;
(f) in a case where the rent officer has made a re-determination under paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Rent Officers Order, the relevant date is—
