Regulation 82B Effect of statutory neonatal care pay on a contributory allowanceF1

This regulation applies where—

Where this regulation applies, notwithstanding section 20(6) of the Act, a claimant who is entitled to statutory neonatal care pay is to be entitled to a contributory allowance in respect of any day that falls within the neonatal care pay period.

Where by virtue of paragraph (2) a person is entitled to a contributory allowance for any week (including part of a week), the total amount of such benefit payable to that claimant for that week is to be reduced by an amount equivalent to any statutory neonatal care pay to which that claimant is entitled in accordance with Part 12ZE of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 for the same week (or equivalent part of a week where entitlement to a contributory allowance is for part of a week) and only the balance, if any, of the contributory allowance is to be payable to that claimant.

In this regulation “neonatal care period” means the weeks in respect of which statutory neonatal care pay is payable to a person under section 171ZZ16 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.
