This instrument makes consequential amendments to social security legislation in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as the case may be, governing entitlement to certain benefits.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
