# The Social Security (Deemed Income from Capital) Regulations 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments to:
the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/1792);
the Housing Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/214);
the Council Tax Benefit (Persons who have attained the qualifying age for state pension credit) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/216).
The amendments provide for an increase in the limits beneath which capital is not taken to generate income for the purposes of calculating benefit. The limits of £10,000 for claimants residing permanently in specified accommodation which provides care for the claimant and £6,000 for all other claimants are amended so that a limit of £10,000 applies to all claimants.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private or voluntary sectors.
