Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/1814), the Disability Working Allowance (General) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2887), the Family Credit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971), the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1973), the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967) and the Income-related Benefits Schemes Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2792) so as to ensure that the first £10 of pensions paid to soldiers' widows under the Pensions and Yeomanry Pay Act 1884 (47 & 48 Vict. c.55) are disregarded for the purposes of those income-related benefits, and that local authorities may modify their housing benefit and council tax benefit schemes so as to disregard the balance of those pensions, or any part thereof, for the purposes of those schemes.

They also correct a cross-reference in the Disability Working Allowance (General) Regulations 1991.

These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
