Qualifying claim – Secretary of State may set later commencement dayU.K.

58.  Where the Secretary of State decides a qualifying claim, and it is not a case where the award is to commence before the date of claim by virtue of regulation 46(3) or 47(4) (claim made by the final deadline) or regulation 26 of the Claims and Payments Regulations (time within which a claim for universal credit is to be made) as modified by regulation 15 of these Regulations, the Secretary of State may determine a day on which the award of universal credit is to commence that is after, but no more than one month after, the date of claim.

Minimum income floor not to apply for first 12 monthsU.K.

59.  Where universal credit is awarded to a claimant who is a notified person, regulation 63 of the Universal Credit Regulations (start-up period) is to apply as if paragraph (1)(a) (requirement that the claimant has begun to carry on the trade, profession or vocation within the past 12 months) were omitted.

Protection for full-time students until course completedU.K.

60.  Where a notified person does not meet the basic condition in section 4(1)(d) of the Act (not receiving education) on the day on which all awards of any existing benefit are to terminate as a consequence of a claim for universal credit because the person is undertaking a full-time course (see regulation 12(2) and 13 of the Universal Credit Regulations), that condition is not to apply in relation to the notified person while they are continuing to undertake that course.

61.  Regulation 6 of the Universal Credit Regulations (rounding) applies for the purposes of calculating any amount under this Part.

62.(1) Nothing in regulation 53 (total legacy amount) or 54 (indicative UC amount) requiring a calculation in relation to the transitional element to be made on the basis of information held on the migration day prevents the Secretary of State from revising or superseding a decision in relation to a claim for, or an award of, universal credit where—

(a)in the opinion of the Secretary of State, the information held on that day was inaccurate or incomplete in some material respect because of—

(i)a misrepresentation by a claimant,

(ii)a failure to report information that a claimant was required to report where that failure was advantageous to the claimant, or

(iii)an official error; or

(b)a decision has been made on or after the migration day on—

(i)an application made before migration day to revise or supersede a decision in relation to an award of an existing benefit (including the report of a change of circumstances), or

(ii)an appeal in relation to such an application.

(2) In this regulation “official error” means an error that—

(a)was made by an officer of, or an employee of a body acting on behalf of, the Department for Work and Pensions, HMRC or a local authority that administers housing benefit; and

(b)was not caused, or materially contributed to, by any person outside that body or outside the Department, HMRC or local authority,

but excludes any error of law which is shown to have been such by a subsequent decision of the Upper Tribunal or of a court as defined in section 27(7) of the Social Security Act 1998.

Claimants previously entitled to a severe disability premiumU.K.

63.  Schedule 2 contains provision in respect of certain claimants who have been entitled to a benefit which included a severe disability premium.

Discretionary hardship paymentsU.K.

64.  The Secretary of State may, in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State considers appropriate, make payments to notified persons who appear to be in hardship as a result of the termination of an existing benefit in accordance with these Regulations or otherwise as a result of the provisions of this Part.]
