- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a Northern Ireland Statutory Rule: The Welfare Supplementary Payment (Universal Credit) (Social Sector Size Criteria) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025 No. 58
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations provide for welfare supplementary payments to mitigate the impact where a person is affected by the application of the social sector size criteria in the calculation of the housing costs element of universal credit. That is to say, where the number of bedrooms in a renter’s accommodation exceeds the number of bedrooms to which a renter is entitled in accordance with the regulations.
