EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Council Tax Reduction (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) in the following respects.
The 2012 Regulations presently make provision in relation to the manner of dealing with payments received by, or in respect of, a person who acquired HIV or hepatitis C as a result of treatment with blood or blood products within the national health service. These Regulations make amendments to reflect that such payments may in future be made out of schemes additional to those specifically listed in the 2012 Regulations (regulations 3, 5 to 7, 8(c), 9, 11(b), 12 and 13).
Regulation 4 adjusts the child premium taken into account in the case of recipients of universal credit.
Regulations 8(a) and (b), 10 and 11(a) uprate figures used to calculate the amount of council tax reduction that an applicant is entitled to receive.
Regulations 15 to 20 amend the Council Tax Reduction (State Pension Credit) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 in the same manner as the 2012 Regulations are amended by regulations 3 and 5 to 13.
