These Regulations provide for two pilot schemes which modify certain jobseeking regulations in the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207). One scheme, which applies to persons who are required to attend one of the offices listed in Part I of the Schedule in order to claim jobseeker’s allowance, modifies the regulations on availability, active seeking and sanctions for part-time students (regulations 6 to 10 and 18 to 21). The other scheme, which applies to persons who are required to attend one of the offices listed in Part II of the Schedule, modifies the regulations on availability, active seeking and sanctions for full-time students (regulations 11 to 21). In order to qualify for these concessions, a person must satisfy the conditions set out in regulation 3.
A person who is required to attend an office listed in Part I or II of the Schedule may not normally rely on the existing concessions for part-time students in the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations, subject to two exceptions (regulations 23 and 25). Regulation 26 makes a transitional provision in respect of persons who embarked on a course of study before these Regulations otherwise cease to have effect.
These Regulations also provide for full-time students to whom these Regulations apply to be treated in the same way as students for the purpose of entitlement to housing benefit and council tax benefit (regulation 24).
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
