Citation, commencement and interpretation

1.—(1) These Regulations may be cited as the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2010 and shall come into force on 12th April 2010.

(2) In these Regulations—

2.  Neither section 155(3) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 nor section 135(3) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 shall apply if a question arises as to either—

(a)the weekly rate at which guardian’s allowance is payable by virtue of either of the Up-rating Orders, or

(b)whether the conditions for receipt of that allowance at the altered rate are satisfied,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations supersede the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/810).

Regulation 2 provides that where a question has arisen about the effect of the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Order 2010 (“the Great Britain Up-rating Order”) or the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating (Northern Ireland) Order 2010 (“the Northern Ireland Up-rating Order”) on a guardian’s allowance already in payment, the altered rates will not apply until that question is determined by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, an appeal tribunal or a Commissioner.

Regulation 3 applies the provisions of Regulation 5 of the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975 and the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 1978 so as to restrict the application of the increases specified in the Up-rating Orders in cases where the beneficiary lives abroad.

A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
