In this Schedule “relevant authority” means an authority administering housing benefit or council tax benefit.

Where at any time a claim for housing benefit or council tax benefit is decided by a relevant authority—
the claim shall not be regarded as subsisting after that time; and
accordingly, the claimant shall not (without making a further claim) be entitled to the benefit on the basis of circumstances not obtaining at that time.
Any relevant decision may be revised or further revised by the relevant authority which made the decision— and regulations may prescribe the procedure by which a decision of a relevant authority may be so revised. In making a decision under sub-paragraph (1), the relevant authority need not consider any issue that is not raised by the application or, as the case may be, did not cause them to act on their own initiative. Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (5) and paragraph 18, a revision under this paragraph shall take effect as from the date on which the original decision took (or was to take) effect. Regulations may provide that, in prescribed cases or circumstances, a revision under this paragraph shall take effect as from such other date as may be prescribed. Where a decision is revised under this paragraph, for the purposes of any rule as to the time allowed for bringing an appeal, the decision shall be regarded as made on the date on which it is so revised. Except in prescribed circumstances, an appeal against a decision of the relevant authority shall lapse if the decision is revised under this paragraph before the appeal is determined.
Subject to sub-paragraphs (4) and (4A), the following, namely— may be superseded by a decision made by the appropriate relevant authority, either on an application made for the purpose by a person affected by the decision or on their own initiative. In this paragraph “the appropriate relevant authority” means the authority which made the decision being superseded, the decision appealed against to the tribunal or the First-tier Tribunal or, as the case may be, the decision to which the decision being appealed against to the Commissioner or the Upper Tribunal relates. In making a decision under sub-paragraph (1), the relevant authority need not consider any issue that is not raised by the application or, as the case may be, did not cause them to act on their own initiative. Regulations may prescribe the cases and circumstances in which, and the procedure by which, a decision may be made under this paragraph. Regulations may prescribe the cases and circumstances in which, and the procedure by which, a decision relating to housing benefit must be made by the appropriate relevant authority. Subject to sub-paragraph (6) and paragraph 18, a decision under this paragraph shall take effect as from the date on which it is made or, where applicable, the date on which the application was made. Regulations may provide that, in prescribed cases or circumstances, a decision under this paragraph shall take effect as from such other date as may be prescribed. In this paragraph—
Where it appears to a relevant authority that a matter in relation to which a relevant decision falls to be made by them involves a question of fact requiring special expertise, they may direct that, in dealing with that matter, they shall have the assistance of one or more persons appearing to them to have knowledge or experience which would be relevant in determining that question.
Subject to sub-paragraph (2), this paragraph applies to any relevant decision (whether as originally made or as revised under paragraph 3) of a relevant authority which— This paragraph does not apply to— In the case of a decision to which this paragraph applies, any person affected by the decision shall have a right to appeal to an the First-tier Tribunal. Nothing in sub-paragraph (3) shall confer a right of appeal in relation to— Regulations under sub-paragraph (4) shall not prescribe any decision or determination that relates to the conditions of entitlement to housing benefit or council tax benefit for which a claim has been validly made. Where any amount of housing benefit or council tax benefit is determined to be recoverable under or by virtue of section 75 or 76 of the Administration Act (overpayments and excess benefits), any person from whom it has been determined that it is so recoverable shall have a right of appeal to an the First-tier Tribunal. A person with a right of appeal under this paragraph shall be given such notice of the decision in respect of which he has that right, and of that right, as may be prescribed. Regulations may make provision as to the manner in which, and the time within which, appeals are to be brought. In deciding an appeal under this paragraph, an the First-tier Tribunal—
This paragraph applies where an application is made to the First-tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal from any decision of the First-tier Tribunal under paragraph 6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If each of the principal parties to the case expresses the view that the decision was erroneous in point of law, the First-tier Tribunal shall set aside the decision and refer the case for determination by a differently constituted First-tier Tribunal. In this paragraph and paragraph 8 “principal parties” means—
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
