b
immediately before the old style ESA award terminated, payments were reduced under regulation 63 of the ESA Regulations 2008 (reduction of employment and support allowance)28.
2
Where this article applies—

the number of days (if any) in that fixed period in respect of which the amount of the old style ESA award was reduced; and
b
the number of days (if any) in the period starting with the day after the day on which the old style ESA award terminated and ending with the day before the first day on which the person is entitled to the new style ESA award.
4
Accordingly, regulation 51 of the ESA Regulations 2013 (general principles for calculating reduction periods) applies in relation to the relevant failure as if—
a
in paragraph (1), for the words “in accordance with regulations 52 and 53” there were substituted the words “in accordance with article 14 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional and Transitory Provisions and Commencement No. 8 and Savings and Transitional Provisions (Amendment)) Order 2013”; and

immediately before the appointed day, payments under that award were reduced in accordance with regulation 63 of the ESA Regulations 2008 (reduction of employment and support allowance).
2
Where this article applies—
a
the failure which led to reduction of the old style ESA award (“the relevant failure”) is to be treated for the purposes of Part 8 of the ESA Regulations 2013, as a failure which is sanctionable under section 11J of the 2007 Act (sanctions);

c
the reduction referred to in sub-paragraph (b) is to be treated, for the purposes of the ESA Regulations 2013, as a reduction under section 11J of the 2007 Act.
3
The reduction period for the purposes of the ESA Regulations 2013 is to be the number of days which is equivalent to the length of the fixed period applicable to the person under regulation 63 of the ESA Regulations 2008 in relation to the relevant failure, minus the number of days (if any) in that period in respect of which the amount of the old style ESA award was reduced.
4
Accordingly, regulation 51 of the ESA Regulations 2013 (general principles for calculating reduction periods) applies in relation to the relevant failure as if—
a
in paragraph (1), for the words “in accordance with regulations 52 and 53” there were substituted the words “in accordance with article 15 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional and Transitory Provisions and Commencement No. 8 and Savings and Transitional Provisions (Amendment)) Order 2013”; and
b
in paragraph (3), for the words “in accordance with regulation 52 or 53” there were substituted the words “in accordance with article 15 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional and Transitory Provisions and Commencement No. 8 and Savings and Transitional Provisions (Amendment)) Order 2013”.
Escalation of sanctions: transition from old style ESA16
1
This article applies where a person is entitled to a new style ESA award and, at any time previously, the person was entitled to an old style ESA award.
2
Where this article applies, for the purposes of determining the reduction period under regulation 52 of the ESA Regulations 2013 (low-level sanction) in relation to a sanctionable failure by the person to whom the new style award referred to in paragraph (1) was made, other than a failure which is treated as sanctionable under article 14 or 15—
a
a reduction of a new style ESA award in accordance with article 14 or 15 as the case may be; and
b
a reduction of an old style ESA award under the ESA Regulations 2008 which did not result in a reduction under article 14 or 15,
is, subject to paragraph (3), to be treated as arising from a sanctionable failure for which the reduction period which applies is the number of days which is equivalent to the length of the fixed period which applied under regulation 63 of the ESA Regulations 2008 (reduction of employment and support allowance).
3
In determining a reduction period under regulation 52 of the ESA Regulations 2013 in accordance with paragraph (2), no account is to be taken of—

a reduction of a new style ESA award in accordance with article 14 or 15, as the case may be, if, at any time after that reduction, the person was entitled to an old style ESA award, an old style JSA award or income support;
b
a reduction of an old style ESA award under the ESA Regulations 2008 if, at any time after that reduction, the person was entitled to universal credit, a new style ESA award or a new style JSA award, and was subsequently entitled to an old style ESA award, an old style JSA award or income support.

c
if the old style JSA award was made to a joint-claim couple within the meaning of the 1995 Act and the reduction related to—
i
in the case of a reduction under section 19 as it applied before substitution by the Act, circumstances relating to only one member of the couple; or
ii
in the case of a reduction under section 19 as it applied after substitution by the Act, a sanctionable failure by only one member of the couple,
the new style JSA award was made to that member of the couple.
2
Where this article applies—
a
the circumstances or failure which led to reduction of the old style JSA award (in either case “the relevant failure”) is to be treated, for the purposes of the JSA Regulations 2013, as—
i
a failure which is sanctionable under section 6J of the 1995 Act (higher-level sanctions)33, where the reduction was under section 19 of the 1995 Act; or

the number of days (if any) in that period in respect of which the amount of a jobseeker’s allowance was reduced; and
b
the number of days (if any) in the period starting with the day after the day on which the old style JSA award terminated and ending with the day before the first day on which the person is entitled to a new style JSA award.
4
Accordingly, regulation 18 of the JSA Regulations 2013 (general principles for calculating reduction periods) applies in relation to the relevant failure as if—
a
in paragraph (1), for the words “in accordance with regulations 19, 20 and 21”, there were substituted the words “in accordance with article 17 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional and Transitory Provisions and Commencement No. 8 and Savings and Transitional Provisions (Amendment)) Order 2013”; and

the amending provisions have come into force under article 4(1) in relation to the case of a claim for universal credit referred to in article 4(2)(b) to (d) (and any award that is made in respect of the claim) or an award of universal credit referred to in article 4(2)(e) or (f);
b
the person in question had an old style JSA award immediately before the appointed day which consisted of or included a contribution-based allowance (which allowance therefore continues as a new style JSA award);
c
immediately before the appointed day, payments under that award were reduced under section 19 (as it applied both before and after substitution by the Act) (before substitution: circumstances in which a jobseeker’s allowance is not payable; after substitution: higher-level sanctions) or 19A (other sanctions) of the 1995 Act, or under regulation 69B of the JSA Regulations 1996) (the period of a reduction under section 19B : Claimants ceasing to be available for employment etc.); and
d
if the old style JSA award was made to a joint-claim couple within the meaning of the 1995 Act and the reduction related to—
i
in the case of a reduction under section 19 as it applied before substitution by the Act, circumstances relating to only one member of the couple; or

in the case of a reduction under section 19 as it applied after substitution by the Act, a sanctionable failure by only one member of the couple,
the new style JSA award was made to that member of the couple.

the circumstances or failure which led to reduction of the old style JSA award (in either case “the relevant failure”) is to be treated, for the purposes of the JSA Regulations 2013, as—

4
Accordingly, regulation 18 of the JSA Regulations 2013 (general principles for calculating reduction periods) applies in relation to the relevant failure as if—
a
in paragraph (1), for the words “in accordance with regulations 19, 20 and 21”, there were substituted the words “in accordance with article 18 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional and Transitory Provisions and Commencement No. 8 and Savings and Transitional Provisions (Amendment)) Order 2013”; and
