From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

statutory exceptions. With regard to subsection 97(3), there is no evidence that the Respondent did not receive all of the housing benefit in question by way of rent, and it is clear that the housing benefit paid did not exceed the rent paid to him. With regard to subsection (4), no exceptional circumstances were brought to the tribunal's attention. There is no evidence of any expenditure by the Respondent for utilities, mortgage, etc. In spite of the name of an agency being recorded on the tenancy agreement, there is no evidence that the Respondent made payment for any agency services. … Accordingly, the tribunal makes an order under s.96(5) and s.97(2) in the sum claimed.
