Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These regulations make further amendments to the Health and Personal Social Services (Assessment of Resources) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 (“the principal regulations”) which relate to the assessment by Health and Social Services Boards and HSS trusts of the resources of residents in accommodation arranged under Articles 15 and 36 of the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1972.
The principal regulations are amended so that where at least one half of a resident’s income from a personal pension scheme or a retirement annuity contract is paid to or in respect of his spouse for the spouse’s maintenance, one half of such income is to be disregarded as income other than earnings.
These amendments have the effect of keeping the principal Regulations aligned with similar provisions of the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987, as amended.
