# The Social Security (Claims and Payments) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: N.I.

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 so as to align the conditions governing the payment of guardian’s allowance with those governing child benefit.
Regulation 3 makes a consequential revocation.
These Regulations correspond to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Social Security 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.
