These Regulations amend the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/1792) (“the 2002 Regulations”) so as to limit savings credit for certain mixed-age couples and to bring forward the date on which certain assessed income periods end.
Under section 3 of the State Pension Credit Act 2002 (c.16) the savings credit element of state pension credit is only payable to those who have reached pensionable age before 6th April 2016. A person may still qualify if they are a member of a mixed-age couple where the other member reached pensionable age before that date.
Regulation 2(2) inserts new regulation 7A into the 2002 Regulations so that in the case of a person who is a member of a mixed-age couple, entitlement is restricted to where one of the members of the couple was entitled to a savings credit before 6th April 2016 and has remained entitled to it at all times since that date.
Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 12 of the 2002 Regulations to provide that certain assessed income periods will end on the dates set out in column 2 of new Schedule IIIA to the 2002 Regulations; that Schedule is inserted by regulation 2(4) of these Regulations.
