(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (Travelling Expenses and Remission of Charges) Regulations 1988. They modify the provisions of the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 which have effect for the purposes of calculating a person’s resources and requirements by confining the £10 disregard, in the calculation of income from student loans, to cases where—
a
a student is eligible for a premium;
b
in certain circumstances, a student suffers from deafness; or
c
a claimant, who is not a student, has a partner who is a student.
They delete the modification which precludes 16 and 17 year olds in receipt of the disability premium from receiving the personal allowance applicable to 18 year olds.
