(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 which set out the means test for determining the amount of renovation grant and disabled facilities grant which may be paid by local housing authorities to owner-occupier and tenant applicants under Chapter I of Part I, of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The amendments are consequential on changes to the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971) upon which the means test is based.
An addition is made to the list of sums to be disregarded as capital. It relates to special payments to sufferers of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and their immediate families.
1996 c. 53; the Secretary of State can exercise the power under these sections only in relation to England; see article 2 of and Schedule 1 to the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672).
