Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations regulate the procedure of the Social Security Commissioners in determining claims and questions arising from decisions of the unified appeals tribunals established under section 7 of the Social Security Act 1998. These Regulations also prescribe the procedure to be followed in the case of a reference made under the Forfeiture Act 1982. These Regulations revoke the Social Security Commissioners (Procedure) Regulations 1987 and amending instruments and are necessary as a result of the introduction of the unified appeals tribunals established under the 1998 Act.
