(c)regulation 24 (applicant in receipt of guarantee credit) does not apply,
the amount specified in sub-paragraph (7) (“the specified amount”).
(2) Where this paragraph applies, paragraphs 1 to 5 and 8 do not apply, but in any case where the applicant is a lone parent and the specified amount would be less than the amount specified in paragraph 2, paragraph 2 applies instead of this paragraph.
(3) Notwithstanding regulation 21 (calculation of income and capital of members of applicant's family and of a polygamous marriage), if sub-paragraph (1) applies to one member of a couple (“A”) it does not apply to the other member of that couple (“B”) except to the extent provided for in sub-paragraph (4).
(4) Where A's earnings are less than the specified amount, so much of B's earnings as would not when aggregated with A's earnings exceed the specified amount, but the amount of B's earnings which may be disregarded under this sub-paragraph is limited to a maximum of £20 unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that B is also undertaking exempt work.
