These Regulations consolidate existing provisions relating to council tax benefit for claimants who have not attained the qualifying age for state pension credit, together with those who have attained that age and are receiving either income support or income-based jobseeker's allowance. In the case of a woman the qualifying age for state pension credit is pensionable age and in the case of a man it is the age which is pensionable age in the case of a woman born on the same day as the man (section 1(6) of the State Pension Credit Act 2002). Provisions relating to council tax benefit for those who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit are contained in the Council Tax Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations 2006.
