Regulation 4 Amendment of the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), in paragraph 4(6)(c) of Schedule 2 to the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002^f1 (circumstances in which a person is to be treated as occupying a dwelling as his home) after “four benefit weeks” insert “from the first day of the benefit week where the move takes place on that day, but if it does not, from the first day of the next following benefit week”.

This paragraph applies in the case of any person to whom regulation 36(6) of the State Pension Credit (Consequential, Transitional and Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2002^f2 (persons entitled to income support immediately before the appointed day) applies.

Where paragraph (2) applies, paragraph 4(6)(c) of Schedule 2 to the State Pension Credit Regulations 2002 is to be read as if after “four benefit weeks” there were inserted “from the first day of the benefit week in which the move occurs”.
