Interpretation

1.  In this Schedule—

“beneficiary” means a person who has been awarded a specified benefit;

“maintenance”, except in paragraph 3, means child support maintenance which a non-resident parent is liable to pay under the 1991 Act(1) at a flat rate (or would be so liable but for a variation having been agreed to) where that rate applies (or would have applied) because the non-resident parent falls within paragraph 4(1)(b), (c) or (2) of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act(2), and includes such maintenance payable at a transitional rate in accordance with regulations made under section 29(3)(a) of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000(3);

“specified benefit” means—

(a)

an employment and support allowance;

a jobseeker’s allowance;
