Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend—

Regulation 2 amends the Income Support Regulations to—

Regulation 3 amends paragraph 6 of Schedule 8B to the Claims and Payments Regulations by increasing from £0∙47 to £0∙55 the fee which qualifying lenders pay for the purpose of defraying administrative expenses incurred by the Department for Social Development in making payments in respect of mortgage interest direct to those lenders.

Regulations 2, 4, 6 and 7 amend the Income Support Regulations, the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations, the Housing Benefit Regulations and the Housing Benefit State Pension Credit Regulations so as to remove obsolete references to “starting rate” of taxation, and where appropriate to replace it with reference to “basic rate”.

Regulations 2, 4, 6, and 8 amend the Income Support Regulations, the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations, the Housing Benefit Regulations and the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations to:

Regulation 2 and 6 amend the Income Support Regulations and the Housing Benefit Regulations to change the eligibility criteria for these benefits for students in full-time, non-advanced education.

Regulations 2 and 4 to 8 amend the Income Support Regulations, the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations, the State Pension Credit Regulations, the Housing Benefit Regulations, the Housing Benefit State Pension Credit Regulations and the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations to—

Regulations 2, 4 and 6 to 8 provide that the health in pregnancy grant is disregarded when assessing the capital of a claimant or a claimant’s partner.

Regulation 4 amends the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations to remove a provision that treated someone who worked on an annual contract at an educational establishment, but not during the summer holiday period, as being in paid employment for the whole year.

Regulations 6 and 7 amend the Housing Benefit Regulations and the Housing Benefit State Pension Credit Regulations, clarifying that entitlement to those benefits will include certain people who qualify for income support, an income-based jobseeker’s allowance, an income-related employment and support allowance or a combination of those benefits.

Regulation 6 amends the Housing Benefit Regulations to—

Regulation 7 amends the Housing Benefit State Pension Credit Regulations to ensure that the treatment of a royalties payment is restricted to specified circumstances, so that the treatment is consistent with other income related-benefits legislation. It also corrects an omission to ensure that a housing benefit claimant aged 60 or over who qualifies for main phase employment and support allowance but has a nil award because of insufficient National Insurance contributions, is entitled to the £20 weekly earnings disregard, as is the case for a counterpart actually receiving contribution-based employment and support allowance.

Regulation 8 amends the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations to—

In so far as these Regulations are required, for the purposes of regulations 6 and 7, to be referred to the Social Security Advisory Committee under section 149(2) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, after agreement by the Social Security Advisory Committee, they have not been so referred by virtue of section 150(1)(b) of that Act. Otherwise they make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, that Act, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
