These Regulations make provision for the second phase of the replacement of certain “existing benefits” by universal credit, a new benefit established by the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (c.5). The existing benefits are income-based jobseeker's allowance, income-related employment and support allowance, income support, housing benefit, working tax credit and child tax credit. The Regulations revoke the Universal Credit (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/386), which related to the first phase of implementation of the change. They replace Part 3 of those Regulations, which dealt with the effect of transition to universal credit. It is intended that Part 2 of those Regulations, which dealt with entitlement to claim universal credit, will be replaced with provision made by order under section 150 of the Welfare Reform Act 2012.
