I may be reading the guidance incorrectly but it appears after a tenant is 2 months in arrears a S8 (g8,10,11) can be served with 6 months notice rather than the normal 14 days. However, 4 further months into this 6 month notice period the tenant would then be 6 months in arrears. So could another S8 be served with the required 4 week notice which is the requirement for 6 months+ arrears.? This would then potentially shave 1 month off the original S8 served.

We had do some working out but yes that seems right!
Below are my notes for calculating and includes 4 days for service on each notice. Hopefully the notes make sense.
1 Jan 500
1 Feb 500
2nd Feb serve notice (6 months)
1 March 500
1 April 500
1 May 500
1 June 500
2 June serve notice (4 weeks)
1 July 500
4 July can commence notice served on 2 June
1 August 500
6 August can commence notice served on 2 February
