- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a Scottish Statutory Instrument: The Early Years Assistance (Best Start Grants) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 No. 370
10.—(1) An individual (“person A”) is to be regarded as the dependant of another individual (“person B”) on a day only if—
(a)person B has been awarded—
(i)child tax credit or child benefit for the day in question (or for a period that includes that day); or
(ii)universal credit for—
(aa)the assessment period that includes the day in question; or
(bb)the assessment period that ended immediately before the assessment period mentioned in paragraph (aa) started; and
(b)person A is recognised to be a dependant of person B in the terms of that award of assistance.
(2) It is immaterial for the purpose of this regulation that the award of assistance to person B does not include any amount in respect of person A due to a rule that restricts the number of dependants in respect of whom person B can be given that type of assistance.
