Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Regulation 2, except for paragraph (7)(c), substitutes throughout the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1976 equivalent references to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 for references to the Social Security Act 1975.

Regulation 8(1) of the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1976 provides that a person is not to be treated as gainfully employed on any day in a week unless his earnings in the immediately preceding week have exceeded a specified amount. Paragraph (2)(c) of that regulation provides that there is to be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph (1) a person’s earnings in the week immediately preceding the week in respect of which that person (if his earnings in that week were disregarded) would first become entitled to an invalid care allowance.

Regulation 2(7)(c) amends regulation 8(2) of the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1976 by omitting sub-paragraph (c). Regulation 3 makes a saving provision in respect of any continuous period of entitlement before 25th November 1996.

These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
