  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese Regulations further amend the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987, the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 and the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996.\nIn particular, regulation 2 provides that payments made to compensate for a person being a slave labourer or a forced labourer, suffering property loss or personal injury or being the parent of a child who had died, during the Second World War, shall be disregarded as capital when ascertaining the entitlement of the recipient of that payment to those benefits.\nIn so far as these Regulations are required, for the purposes of regulation 2(b), to be referred to the Social Security Advisory Committee under section 149(2) of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”), after agreement by the Social Security Advisory Committee, they have not been so referred by virtue of section 150(1)(b) of that Act. Otherwise they 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 1992 Act, are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.\nThese Regulations do not impose any charge on business.",
