The claimant’s eligible housing costs for the purposes of the calculation of entitlement to Income Support include the interest on so much of the loans taken out by the claimant and her husband as was used within the period specified in paragraph 16(1) of schedule 3 to the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 for the purpose of providing a third bedroom in their home. The claimant’s entitlement to Income Support will be reassessed on that basis with further recourse to the tribunal in the event of disagreement as to the amount of benefit payable.
