Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time.

In the Administration Act, insert after section 160—
(1)This section applies where—
(a)an award of an income-based jobseeker’s allowance is in force in favour of a person (“the recipient"); and
(b)a component has become applicable, or applicable at a particular rate, because he or some other person has reached a particular age (“the qualifying age").
(2)If, as a result of the recipient or other person reaching the qualifying age, the recipient becomes entitled to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance of an increased amount, the amount payable to or for him under the award shall, as from the day on which he becomes so entitled, be that increased amount, without any further decision of an adjudication officer; and the award shall have effect accordingly.
(3)Subsection (2) above does not apply where, in consequence of the recipient or other person reaching the qualifying age, a question arises in relation to the recipient’s entitlement to—
(a)a benefit under the Contributions and Benefits Act; or
(b)a jobseeker’s allowance.
(4)Subsection (3)(b) above does not apply to the question—
(a)whether the component concerned, or any other component, becomes or ceases to be applicable, or applicable at a particular rate, in the recipient’s case; and
(b)whether, in consequence, the amount of his income-based jobseeker’s allowance falls to be varied.
(5)In this section “component”, in relation to a recipient and his jobseeker’s allowance, means any of the amounts determined in accordance with regulations made under section 4(5) of the Jobseekers Act 1995.”
