Where the change is that the condition in section 5(1)(b) or (2)(b) of the 2012 Act (condition that the claimant’s income, or joint claimants’ combined income, is such that the amount payable would not be less than the prescribed minimum) is not met, but the Secretary of State treats the claimant as making a claim under regulation 32A(2) of the Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013^f2 (reclaims of universal credit after nil awards due to earnings), the change is disregarded for as long as the Secretary of State treats the claimant as such.”.
