Where a disablement pension with unemployability supplement is increased in respect of a child and the beneficiary is one of two persons who are spouses residing together or an unmarried couple, paragraph 4(4) of Schedule 7 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 provides that an increase shall not be payable in respect of the first child if the other person’s earnings are £120 a week or more and in respect of a further child for each complete £16 where the earnings exceed £120. This Order substitutes the amount of £125 for the amount of £120. The amount of £16 is unchanged.
Article 3 contains a revocation consequential upon the coming into operation of this Order.
Paragraph 4(4) was amended by Article 2 of S.R. 1993 No. 151.
