This Order, which corresponds to an Order (S.I. 2002/1457) made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions under section 1 of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001, makes a number of amendments in relation to invalid care allowance.
Article 2 provides for the benefit to be renamed carer’s allowance and makes a number of consequential amendments to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, (“the Contributions and Benefits Act”), the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 and the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1998.
Article 3(2) amends section 70 of the Contributions and Benefits Act to provide that a carer may continue to receive the allowance for a specified period after the death of the severely disabled person for whom he had been caring.
Article 3(3) repeals section 70(5) and (6) of the Contributions and Benefits Act.
Article 4 preserves entitlement to the allowance in the case of any person over the age of 65 who is entitled to it immediately before this Order comes into operation.
