EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to secondary legislation as a consequence of the coming into force of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 (2014 anaw 4) (“SSWBWA 2014”).
Regulations 2 to 5 amend the following sets of regulations to include reference to the SSWBWA 2014 in provisions which refer to the Children Act 1989 (1989 c. 41).
the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987;
the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996;
the Housing Benefit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006; and
the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008.
Regulation 4 also amends the Housing Benefit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 to correct an error in paragraph 17(2)(b)(iv) of Schedule 5 so that it is clear that, where the claimant is a member of a couple and one of them is engaged in remunerative work for on average not less than 16 hours a week, it is the member of the couple who is working who must meet the other qualifying conditions for the disregard.
