EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend (in relation to England) the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/2890) (“the principal Regulations”), which set out the means test for determining the amount of grant which may be paid by local housing authorities under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The principal Regulations are amended as follows:
Regulation 3(2) amends regulation 10 so that the applicable amount as regards a person receiving income-related employment and support allowance is £1.
Regulation 3(3) amends regulation 19, so that where a person is in receipt of earnings on the grounds of incapacity for work or limited capability for work, or is paid employment and support allowance, the relevant child care charges incurred by that person will be determined when calculating an applicant’s means for the purpose of determining the amount of grant which may be paid.
Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations lists the amounts that apply to a relevant person (defined in regulation 5 of the principal Regulations) as part of the calculation made to determine the applicable amount (defined in regulation 10 of the principal Regulations. These amounts are then used in the calculation of grant which may be paid. Schedule 2 lists sums to be disregarded in the determination of income, Schedule 3 lists sums to be disregarded in the determination of income other than earnings, and Schedule 4 lists the capital to be disregarded in the determination of capital.
Regulation 2(4) amends Schedule 1 to include employment and support allowances in the amounts that apply. Regulation 2(5) to (7) amends Schedules 2, 3 and 4 so that income-related employment and support allowance is disregarded in the determination of earnings, income other than earnings and capital.
