(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend provisions in the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 in respect of the calculation of average weekly income. In particular they provide that claimants in receipt of either working families' tax credit or disabled person’s tax credit can have that credit taken into account in the calculation of the child care costs disregard applicable in their case.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
