Explanatory note

(this note is not part of the Order.)

Where a disablement pension with unemployability supplement is increased in respect of a child and the beneficiary is one of two persons who are spouses residing together or an unmarried couple, paragraph 4(4) of Schedule 7 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 provides that an increase shall not be payable in respect of the first child if the other person’s earnings are £115 a week or more and in respect of a further child for each complete £15 where the earnings exceed £115. This order substitutes the amount of £120 for the amount of £115 and £16 for the amount of £15.

Article 3 contains a revocation consequential upon the coming into operation of this order.
