  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations set the weekly sum which local authorities are to assume, in the absence of special circumstances, that residents who are in accommodation arranged under Part 3 of the National Assistance Act 1948 (“the Act”), will need for their personal requirements. From 6 April 2009 all such residents will be assumed to need £22.00 per week.\nSecondly, these Regulations make further amendments to the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992 (“the Principal Regulations”).\nThe Principal Regulations determine the way that local authorities assess the ability of a person to pay for accommodation arranged for him or her under the Act.\nThe amendments provide for an increase in the lower capital limit and an increase in the amount of savings credit to be disregarded.",
