These Regulations further amend the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the Housing Benefit Regulations”), the Housing Benefit (General) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”) and the Housing Benefit (General) (Amendment No. 3) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”). The amendments made to the Housing Benefit Regulations and the 1996 Regulations by the 1999 Regulations cease to have effect in April 2003. These Regulations clarify from April 2003 which service charges payable by a claimant can be met by housing benefit, following the introduction of payments for housing support services under Article 4 of the Housing Support Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2002.
