Regulation 28 Transition from other incapacity benefits: supplementary

Where an award of universal credit is made to a person who is entitled to incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance^f1, regulation 66 of the Universal Credit Regulations (What is included in unearned income?) applies to that person as if incapacity benefit or, as the case may be, severe disablement allowance were added to the descriptions of unearned income in paragraph (1)(b) of that regulation.

For the purposes of regulations 26 and 27 and this regulation only, incapacity benefit and severe disablement allowance are prescribed benefits under paragraph 1(2)(b) of Schedule 6 to the Act.
