Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Housing Benefit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (“The Housing Benefit Regulations”), the Housing Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (“The Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations”), and the Universal Credit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (“The Universal Credit Regulations”).
These Regulations give effect to the judgment of the Supreme Court in R (on the application of Carmichael and Rourke) (formerly known as MA and others) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and R (on the application of Rutherford and another) v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions) [2016] UKSC 58 (9th November 2016).
Regulation 1 provides for the citation and commencement of these Regulations. Regulation 1(3) provides that the amendments in respect of Universal Credit are not operational until Article 6 of The Welfare Reform (Northern Ireland) Order 2015 is commenced as that benefit is not presently available in Northern Ireland.
Regulation 2 amends provisions in the Housing Benefit Regulations which allow an extra bedroom where the claimant or their partner requires overnight care. The effect is that an extra bedroom will also be provided where any other person who occupies the dwelling as their home needs overnight care, or a child or young person in respect of whom the claimant is a qualifying parent or carer needs overnight care. Where a claimant or their partner and one or more other persons require overnight care only one extra bedroom will be provided. It also makes minor consequential amendments in relation to these amendments.
Regulation 2 also amends provisions in the Housing Benefit Regulations which allow an extra bedroom where a severely disabled child is unable to share a bedroom with another child. The effect is that an extra bedroom will also be provided where a member of a couple is unable to share a bedroom with the other member of the couple.
Regulation 3 makes similar amendments to the Housing Benefit (State Pension Credit) Regulations.
Regulation 4 makes similar amendments to the Universal Credit Regulations.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on business or civil society organisations.
