SCHEDULE 3 S COLD-SPELL HEATING ASSISTANCE REGULATIONS

PART 1 S ELIGIBILITY

CHAPTER 1 S ELIGIBILITY IS TO DEPEND ON LIVING IN AN AREA DURING A COLD SPELL

2 (1) The regulations may be framed so that, despite the criterion described in paragraph 1 not being fulfilled (or its being uncertain whether it will be fulfilled) in relation to a given period, an individual may nevertheless be eligible in respect of that period. S

(2) Where the regulations allow an individual to be eligible in respect of a period in relation to which the criterion described in paragraph 1 is not fulfilled (or may not be fulfilled), they must be framed so that the individual's eligibility depends on the area in which the individual's home is situated being, or having been, forecast to experience a cold spell during the period.
