Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 and the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”) in respect of state pension credit.
Regulation 2 provides that, where a state pension credit claimant aged 65 or over is awarded housing costs, a change in a non-dependant’s circumstances which reduces the award shall take effect 26 weeks after the change occurred. Regulation 4 makes a consequential saving.
Regulation 3 amends the 2002 Regulations. It amends the provisions relating to the date which occupational pensions increase (regulation 10(5) of the 2002 Regulations) and the provisions relating to the treatment of deemed increases to the assessed amount made under the annual Uprating Order (regulation 10(6) of the 2002 Regulations). Regulation 3 also inserts a new provision in respect of the treatment of final payments of income (regulation 17ZA) and amends regulation 21 of the 2002 Regulations to provide that a person shall not be treated as depriving himself of a capital resource if he disposes of it for the purpose of paying or reducing a debt or, in certain cases, purchasing goods or services.
