These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Incapacity Benefit) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2946). The amendments clarify the position relating to the relaxation of the first contribution condition for incapacity benefit, and the circumstances where a person may be entitled to incapacity benefit when he is aged between 20 and 25, or where he has previously been so entitled.

These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
