Regulation 1 provides for citation, commencement and interpretation.
Regulation 2 amends regulation 3 of the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 to provide that a payment of additional Class 3 contributions under section 13A of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 may give rise to a revision of an earlier decision on benefit.
Regulation 3 amends the Social Security (Crediting and Treatment of Contributions, and National Insurance Numbers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 to provide for when additional Class 3 contributions paid under section 13A of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 are to be treated as paid.
Regulation 4 makes a consequential revocation.
These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
