Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This instrument contains only provisions made in consequence of an order under section 150A of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (c.5).
Regulation 2 provides that where a question has arisen about the effect of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/230) on a benefit already in payment, the altered rates will not apply until that question is determined by the Secretary of State, the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal.
Regulation 3 applies the provisions of regulation 5 of the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/563) so as to restrict the application of the increases specified in the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2016 in cases where the beneficiary is not ordinarily resident in Great Britain.
Regulation 4 revokes regulations 2 and 3 of the Social Security Benefits Up-rating Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/496).
