# The Housing Benefit (General) Amendment (No. 2) Regulations 1998, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations substitute more detailed provision for the provision in regulation 7(1) of the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 for determining whether a person is to be treated as not liable to make payments in respect of a dwelling (regulation 3).
A consequential amendment is made to the definition of “non-dependant” in regulation 3 of those Regulations (regulation 2).
These Regulations do not affect any claimant, who is in receipt of an award of housing benefit on 25th January 1999, for the remainder of the benefit period in respect of which that award is made (regulation 1(3)).
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
