# The Income Support (General) and Jobseeker’s Allowance Amendment Regulations 2002

S.I. 2002/1411 · made 24 May 2002

This brings the calculation of income of such participants within the scope of the special rules contained in Chapter IVA of Part V of the 1987 Regulations and in Chapter IVA of Part VIII of the 1996 Regulations.
