Regulation 13 Modification of the relevant benefit yearF1
England, Wales and Scotland
Where paragraph (2) applies, sub-paragraph (1)(f) of paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to the Act has effect as if “relevant benefit year” is any benefit year which includes all or part of the period of limited capability for work which includes the relevant benefit week.
This paragraph applies where a claimant has made a claim to employment and support allowance but does not satisfy—
the first contribution condition;
the second contribution condition; or
both contribution conditions,
but would satisfy those conditions if the modified definition of “relevant benefit year” provided in paragraph (1) applied.
