State Pension Credit Act 2002
2002 CHAPTER 16
Commentary on Sections
Sections 1 to 4: Entitlement and amount
Section 4: Exclusions
94.Section 4(1) provides that Pension Credit shall not be payable to or for a person who is a member of a married or unmarried couple if the other member is entitled to Pension Credit. The intention here is simply to prevent double provision from public funds.
95.Subsection (2) provides that someone who is subject to immigration control within the meaning of section 115 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 will have no entitlement to Pension Credit.
96.Subsection (3) reproduces for Pension Credit the power in section 134(4) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. The intention is that Pension Credit is not to be paid if entitlement is under ten pence a week, unless payment can be combined with payment of another benefit.
