Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I.1987/1967), the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I.1996/207), the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I.1987/1971) and the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 (S.I.1992/1814)(“the principal sets of regulations”).
Regulations 2(2) and (3)(b), 3(2) and (3)(b), 4(2) and (3) and 5(2)(b) and (3) amend the principal sets of regulations to provide that payments made in relation to the provision of welfare services within the meaning of sections 93(1) and (2) of the Local Government Act 2000 (c. 22) or section 91(1) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 10) shall be disregarded in the calculation of both income and capital.
Regulations 2(3)(a) and 3(3)(a) provide, in relation to income support and jobseeker’s allowance, for a capital disregard of the value of a dwelling, which the claimant has ceased to occupy following estrangement or divorce, where the dwelling is occupied as a home by the former partner who is a lone parent.
Regulations 3(4) and (5) make minor amendments to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 which are a consequence of the change of the name of invalid care allowance to carer’s allowance.
Regulation 5(2)(a) amends the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 to provide that where a claimant or the person who was the partner of the claimant on 31st March 2003 was entitled to income support or income based jobseeker’s allowance at that date but ceased to be so entitled by virtue only of regulation 13 of the Housing Benefit (General) Amendment (No.3) Regulations 1999 (S.I.1999/2734), the whole of their income is to be disregarded.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
