These Regulations further amend the Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 1987 (“the General Regulations”).
They make provision for persons in Scotland awarded community charge rebate in the year beginning 1st April 1989 and thereafter for persons in Great Britain awarded community charge benefits, to be eligible for a funeral payment (regulation 3).
They substitute a new paragraph for paragraph (2) of regulation 3 of the General Regulations to clarify the interpretation provisions in regard to treatment as members of a household (regulation 2); and amend the provisions dealing with capital to make it clear that, apart from those modifications which are specified, capital is to be calculated as for income support purposes (regulations 4 and 5).
