SOCIAL SECURITY

These Regulations amend the Social Security (Hospital In-Patients) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1975 to adjust the amount of benefit payable to a beneficiary’s dependant after the beneficiary has received 52 weeks of free in-patient treatment in a hospital and then has his benefit adjusted so that the first 20% only of the basic pension is payable. They provide that the next 38%, instead of 40%, of the basic pension is not payable and any excess over 58%, instead of 60%, of the basic pension is payable to the dependant.
