# The Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations supersede the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/845).
Regulation 2 provides that where a question has arisen about the effect of the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Order 2013 or the Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating (Northern Ireland) Order 2013 (“the Up-rating Orders”) on a guardian’s allowance already in payment, the altered rates will not apply until that question is determined by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, an appeal tribunal or a Commissioner.
Regulation 3 applies the provisions of regulation 5 of the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975 and regulation 5 of the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) (Northern Ireland) Regulations 1978 so as to restrict the application of the increases specified in the Up-rating Orders in cases where the beneficiary lives abroad.
A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
