# The Income-related Benefits (Amendment) Regulations 2005, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987, the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987, the Council Tax Benefit (General) Regulations 1992 and the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996 so as to make provision in each set of Regulations for an interim assistance grant paid by the London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund to a person who was injured, or was a partner or close relative of someone killed, in or as a result of the terrorist attacks carried out in London on 7th July 2005, to be disregarded when calculating that person's capital for the purpose of an award of benefit where the grant is paid during the award. The disregard will last for the remainder of that award (or further awards if there is no break in- between).
They also amend the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002 so as to provide for an interim assistance grant paid by that Fund to a person who was a partner or close relative of someone killed in, or as a result of, those attacks to be disregarded when calculating that person's income from capital for the purpose of an award of state pension credit where the grant is paid during the award. Again, the disregard will last for the remainder of that award (or further awards if there is no break in-between).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the cost of business.
