Subject to paragraph (2) and regulations 19, 19A and 20, the amendments in Schedule 5 have effect.

The amendments made by Part 2 of Schedule 5 (decisions and appeals) to the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 do not apply in relation to any decision or determination about an amount for owner-occupier payments under the substantive Regulations as those Regulations applied without the amendments made by Part 1 of Schedule 5.

In this regulation, the “substantive Regulations” means the ESA Regulations, IS Regulations, JSA Regulations, SPC Regulations and UC Regulations.
