An amendment is also made to provide that in circumstances where rent is payable on a daily basis the effective date of the change of circumstances ending entitlement will be the day the change happened rather than the end of the benefit week.\nRegulation 3 makes equivalent provisions in relation to the Housing Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.\nThese Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.",
