13A.—(1) The guarantee credit shall be payable for a period of less than a week (“a part-week”) at the rate specified in paragraph (3) if—
(a)the claimant was entitled to income support or an income-based jobseeker’s allowance immediately before the first day on which the conditions for entitlement to the credit are satisfied; and
(b)the claimant’s entitlement to the credit is likely to continue throughout the first full benefit week which follows the part-week.
(2) For the purpose of determining the amount of the guarantee credit payable in respect of the part-week, no regard shall be had to any income of the claimant and his partner.
(3) The amount of the guarantee credit payable in respect of the part-week shall be determined—
(a)by dividing by 7 the weekly amount of the guarantee credit which, taking into account the requirements of paragraph (2), would be payable in respect of a full week; and then
(b)multiplying the resulting figure by the number of days in the part-week,
any fraction of a penny being rounded up to the nearest penny.]
