Regulation 4 Amendment of the State Pension Credit Regulations

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), in paragraph 4(6)(c) of Schedule 2 to the State Pension Credit Regulations (circumstances in which a person is to be treated as occupying a dwelling as his home) after “4 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 34(6) of the State Pension Credit (Consequential, Transitional and Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003^f1 (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 is to be read as if after “4 benefit weeks” there were inserted “from the first day of the benefit week in which the move occurs”.
