These Regulations amend the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/991) (“the principal Regulations"). The Regulations provide for the decision-making process under the Child Support Act 1991 (c. 48) (“the Child Support Act") for child support and related matters, consequent upon the introduction of changes to the child support system made by the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 (c. 19). These Regulations come into force at different times for different cases according to the dates on which provisions of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000 which are relevant to these Regulations are commenced for different types of cases.
Regulation 1 contains provisions relating to citation, commencement and interpretation.
Regulation 2 inserts definitions into the principal Regulations for the purposes of the amendments made by these Regulations.
Regulation 3 amends regulation 2 of the principal Regulations to provide for notices served under the Child Support Act.
Regulation 4 makes a consequential amendment to the principal Regulations.
Regulations 5 and 7 insert regulations into the principal Regulations providing for the revision of child support decisions and when such decisions take effect.
Regulation 6 amends regulation 4 of the principal Regulations.
Regulations 8 and 9 insert regulations into the principal Regulations providing for the supersession of child support decisions, when such decisions take effect and related procedural rules.

Regulation 11 amends regulation 30 of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 12 extends appeal rights to decisions adjusting amounts payable under maintenance calculations.
Regulation 13 substitutes a regulation in the principal Regulations providing for the procedure where the Secretary of State has referred an application for a variation to an appeal tribunal under section 28D(1)(b) of the Child Support Act.

Regulation 15 provides for the saving of regulation 45 of the principal Regulations.
The impact on business of these Regulations was covered in the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) for the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000, in accordance with, and in consequence of which, these Regulations are made.
