(This note is not part of these Regulations)
These Regulations make consequential amendments to the Rate Relief Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 (S.R.2017 No.184) (“the principal Regulations”) in response to policy changes made to Universal Credit in Northern Ireland and are necessary to ensure the rate rebate scheme remains in alignment with Universal Credit. They also provide for a number of minor amendments aimed at clarifying and correcting the principal Regulations.
