Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision to allow Discretionary Support in respect of fuel to be paid as a grant. They do so by removing the exclusion from Schedule 2 to the Discretionary Support Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016.

Awards for fuel were previously excluded from being the subject of a grant of Discretionary Support.

Regulation 2 omits paragraph 19 of Schedule 2. This removes the exclusion and provides that Discretionary Support claims for fuel may be considered as a grant award.

An impact assessment has been produced for this Statutory Rule.
