Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987, so as to include amongst the eligible housing costs for the purpose of income support interest on loans acquired to meet any service charge in respect of repairs or improvements to a dwelling occupied as a home and to omit sub-paragraph (h), which provided for certain payments analogous to those specified elsewhere in paragraph 1 to qualify as eligible housing costs.
