Which housing benefit scheme?
As the claimant is not of pensionable age, his entitlement to housing benefit and his liability to repay any overpayment are governed by the scheme for people of working age established by the Housing Benefit Regulations 2006 ("the Regulations").

Where I refer without more to numbered regulations or sections, those references are to the Regulations and the Act respectively.
