These Regulations further amend the Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000. Unregistered homes are excluded from the definition of “residential care” for the purposes of entitlement to a winter fuel payment; however, a person living in such a home who has a preserved right under regulation 19 (applicable amounts for persons in homes for persons in need and nursing homes) of the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 is treated as living in a residential care home (regulation 2(2)). A person is not disentitled to a winter fuel payment even though he is a partner of a person entitled to such a payment where the 2 people do not live in the same household (regulation 2(3)).
