From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
falling outside the period of 12 months ending with the date of the notice of intended proceedings. The notice of proceedings is dated 23rd July 2014 and therefore the earliest date from which the tribunal could order repayment (subject to any other considerations) is 24th July 2013. … Therefore, subject to any other considerations, the period in respect of which it would be possible to make a rent repayment order is 24th July 2013 to 7th July 2014, as submitted by the Applicant. It is also accepted that the amount of housing benefit paid in respect of this period was £11,453.75. … We are also satisfied on the basis of the evidence that the requirements of section 96(7) have been complied with. … Therefore, under sub-section 97(2) the tribunal must make a rent repayment order subject only to the provisions of sub-sections 97(3), 97(4) and 97(8). … As regards sub-section 97(3), we accept on the basis of the evidence that total of the amounts received by the Respondent was not less than the total amount of housing benefit paid. … Sub-section 97(8) has already been dealt with above. … As regards sub-section 97(4), the Respondent has argued that the tribunal either should not order any sums to be repaid or should at least reduce the amount repayable on the basis that – by reason of exceptional circumstances – it would be unreasonable for her to be required to pay. …
