  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Assistance for Minor Works to Dwellings Regulations 1990 which deal with assistance given by local housing authorities under section 131 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989. The amendments are made by regulation 3 and, by virtue of regulation 2, have effect in relation to applications for assistance made on or after the date these Regulations come into force.\nThe amendment to regulation 4 of the 1990 Regulations (persons to whom assistance may be given) substitutes a reference to council tax benefit and disability working allowance for the reference to community charge benefit.\nThe amendments to regulation 6 and the new regulation 7 relate to financial limits. The maximum amount or value of assistance which may be given under section 131 on any one application for assistance is increased from £1,000 to £1,080. The maximum amount of assistance which may be given over a three year period in respect of the same dwelling is increased from £3,000 to £3,240. The amendment to regulation 5 is consequential on the new regulation 7.",
