Point in time view as at 06/04/2018.
Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992, Section 171C is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 30 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time.

(b)he falls to be treated as capable of work in accordance with regulations under section 171A(2) or (3) above or section 171E below.
