  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nRegulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 17 of the Social Security (Claims and Information) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/3108) which enables social security information to be supplied by a relevant authority to the partner of a claimant for a qualifying benefit. It provides that for the information to be supplied under that regulation, a qualifying benefit must have been payable to the claimant for at least six months, it adds invalid care allowance to the list of qualifying benefits and it also removes the restriction that the benefit payable must include an increase for the partner and that the partner of the person entitled to benefit must be aged 50 or over.\nRegulation 3 amends the Social Security (Work-focused Interviews for Lone Parents) and Miscellaneous Amendments Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/1926) by clarifying the date until which the requirement to take part in a work-focused interview may be deferred.\nThese Regulations do not impose a charge on business.",
