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.
Regulation 2 amends the principal regulations so that the capital limit set out in regulation 20 becomes £20,000.
Regulation 3 amends the principal regulations so that the capital limits set out in regulation 28(1) become £12,250 and £20,000.
Regulation 4 provides for an increase to £6·95 of the amount of savings credit to be disregarded in calculating a resident’s income. It also amends paragraph 27H of Schedule 3 to the principal Regulations so that where one partner is at home and in receipt of the Savings Credit element of Pension Credit, the other partner in the care home does not qualify for the savings disregard.
These regulations do not impose a charge on business.
