This instrument contains only provisions made in consequence of an order under section 150A of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c.5).
Regulation 2 provides that where a question has arisen about the effect of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/230) on a benefit already in payment, the altered rates will not apply until that question is determined by the Secretary of State, the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal.
Regulation 3 applies the provisions of regulation 5 of the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/563) so as to restrict the application of the increases specified in the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2016 in cases where the beneficiary is not ordinarily resident in Great Britain.
Regulation 4 revokes regulations 2 and 3 of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/496).
