These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967) (“the Income Support Regulations”).

Regulation 2 inserts a new paragraph 14A into Schedule 1B of the Income Support Regulations. This provides that a person on unpaid statutory parental leave in respect of a child in his household, who was entitled to certain benefits on the day before the leave begins, is a prescribed person under section 124(1)(e) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) for the purposes of a claim for income support.

These Regulations do not impose any charge on business.
