These Regulations amend—

  • the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 2001 (S.I.2001/1002) to provide that no appeal lies against calculations and estimates of the income and capital of a claimant for housing benefit or council tax benefit or his partner, where that claimant or his partner has been awarded state pension credit comprising only the savings credit (regulation 3).

These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
