Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends paragraph 3 of the Schedule to the Council Tax (Additional Provisions for Discount Disregards) Regulations 1992, which prescribe additional provisions in relation to certain classes of persons to be disregarded for the purposes of discount. The existing requirement in relation to care workers is amended so that a person to whom care is provided, and who is in receipt of a disablement pension, must be in need of constant attendance. This makes the requirement relating to disablement pension consistent with the requirements relating to attendance allowance, the care component of disability living allowance and constant attendance allowance.
