Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987, the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987, the Community Charge Benefits (General) Regulations 1989 and the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992.

They provide that in reviewing determinations relating to housing benefit, community charge benefits and council tax benefit, the question of whether the Secretary of State went beyond the powers exercisable by him in making any provision in a regulation or Order is not a question arising in connection with an authority’s or Review Board’s power to review on the ground of a mistake of law.

They provide that in calculating the applicable amount of a claimant for housing benefit, income support or council tax benefit, where the claimant is living with a person who is blind or is treated as blind, the presence of that person shall not prevent the claimant from satisfying the qualifying condition for a severe disability premium.
