Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2977) (“the principal Regulations”).

The principal Regulations are amended to provide a disregard in the calculation of income other than earnings of a resident of accommodation provided under Part III of the National Assistance Act 1948, the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 or section 7 of the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984 in respect of certain payments to widows under the Naval, Military and Air Forces etc. (Disablement and Death) Service Pensions Order 1983, the Personal Injuries (Civilians) Scheme 1983 and certain Dispensing Instruments (regulation 2).

These Regulations also amend the principal Regulations to correct an error in an earlier amending instrument (S.I. 1994/825) which resulted in two different paragraphs bearing the same number (regulation 2). As the error was not one of printing, a correction slip issued by HMSO was ineffective to correct it.

These Regulations do not impose a charge on businesses.
