# The Housing Benefit (War Pension Disregards Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Housing Benefit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 and the Housing Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
Regulation 2 amends paragraph 15 of Schedule 6 to the Housing Benefit Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 to add certain service attributable pensions to the list of war pensions which are disregarded as income for housing benefit purposes. This corrects the erroneous removal of such a disregard by the Social Security (Miscellaneous Amendments No. 7) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 (S.R. 2008 No. 498).
Regulation 3 makes an equivalent amendment to paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 to the Housing Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
