As the title suggests, I’m a bit confused with the relationship between reg 79 paras 2 and 8 where liability ends on a Sunday but the claimant does not move out until the following week.
It would make sense to not pay any HB for the week in which there is no liability, but is this what the regs say?
[quote:e335f357b4]79(2) Subject to paragraph (8) and regulation 8(3) of the Decisions and Appeals Regulations where the change of circumstances is a change in the amount of rent payable in respect of a dwelling, that change shall take effect from the day on which it actually occurs.
79(8) Subject to paragraph (9), where a change of circumstances occurs which has the effect of bringing entitlement to an end it shall take effect on the first day of the benefit week following the benefit week in which that change actually occurs except in a case where a person is liable to make payments, which fall due on a daily basis, in which case that change shall take effect on the day on which it actually occurs [/quote:e335f357b4]
I would have thought, similar to JSA ending, that the date of the change is the first day of nil liability (ie Monday) which would suggest that we pay HB until the end of the week. Is this correct?
