Regulation 4 Transitional

Where a change of circumstances occurs as a result of the payment of arrears of any income (and for the avoidance of doubt income includes any benefit within the meaning of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992^f1) which affects a determination or decision in respect of entitlement to, or the amount of, housing benefit or council tax benefit before 6th March 1995, regulations 2 and 3 shall, in so far as they relate to arrears of income paid in respect of a period before that date, be treated as if they had not been made.
