(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/481 as amended) in so far as those Regulations relate to claims for payment of funeral expenses.
In particular, regulation 2 amends regulation 7A(5)(b) of those Regulations so as to increase the amount of the cap on the residuary category of funeral expenses which may be met out of the social fund, where items and services have been provided on the death of the deceased under a pre-paid funeral plan, from £100 to £120 in respect of deaths which occur on or after 6th October 2003.
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
1992 c. 4; section 138(4) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meaning ascribed to the word “prescribed”.
See section 173(1)(b) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c. 5).
