Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend the Income Support (Transitional) Regulations 1987 in preparation for the introduction of income support. They provide for a person’s transitional addition, special transitional addition and personal expenses addition not to be reduced where there has been an increase in his income attributable to the receipt of a training allowance.

The Regulations contain only provisions consequential on sections 20 to 23 of the Social Security Act 1986 in their application to income support and are made before the expiry of 12 months from the commencement of those sections. Accordingly, the Regulations are exempt, by section 61(5) of that Act, from reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee and have not been so referred.
