  "text": "(1) This regulation applies where—\n(a) a new claimant partner to whom an award of universal credit has been made appealed against a decision relating to entitlement to an existing benefit; and\n(b) the appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, or any subsequent appeal to the Upper Tribunal or a court, was ongoing at the date on which the award of universal credit was made, or a further appeal (by any party) was made after that date.\n(2) This regulation also applies where—\n(a) a new claimant partner to whom an award of universal credit has been made applied—\n(i) to the Secretary of State to consider whether to revise, under section 9 of the Social Security Act 1998, or to supersede, under section 10 of that Act, a decision relating to the new claimant partner’s entitlement to jobseeker’s allowance, employment and support allowance or income support; or\n(ii) to the relevant authority (within the meaning of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000) to consider whether to revise or supersede, under Schedule 7 to that Act, a decision relating to the new claimant partner’s entitlement to housing benefit,\nand that application is pending at the date on which the award of universal credit was made; or\n(b) the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, a relevant authority mentioned in sub-paragraph (a)(ii), is considering whether to revise or supersede such a decision on their own initiative.\n(3) Where this regulation applies, and the new claimant partner is still entitled to universal credit when the appeal is finally determined or a decision is revised or superseded—\n(a) any entitlement to an existing benefit arising from the appeal, or from the decision as revised or superseded, is to terminate, by virtue of this regulation, on the day before the first date of entitlement to universal credit;\n(b) the new claimant partner is not entitled to any payment in respect of an existing benefit for any period after the day before the first date of entitlement to universal credit; and\n(c) the Secretary of State is to consider whether it is appropriate to revise under section 9 of the 1998 Act the decision in relation to entitlement to universal credit or, if that decision has been superseded under section 10 of that Act, the decision as so superseded (in either case, “the UC decision”).\n(4) Where it appears to the Secretary of State to be appropriate to revise the UC decision, it is to be revised in such manner as appears to the Secretary of State to be necessary to take account of—\n(a) the decision of the First-tier Tribunal, Upper Tribunal, or court or, as the case may be, the decision relating to entitlement to an existing benefit, as revised or superseded by the Secretary of State or relevant authority; and\n(b) any finding of fact by the Tribunal, Upper Tribunal, or court.",
