# The Social Security (Unemployment, Sickness and Invalidity Benefit) Regulations 1983, Regulation 18: Partial satisfaction of contribution conditions and reduced rates of benefit


(1) Where a person would be entitled to unemployment or sickness benefit but for the fact that the second contribution condition set out in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 is not satisfied, he shall, if a rate is prescribed for him in paragraph (2), be entitled to such benefit at that rate.
(2) The weekly rate of unemployment or sickness benefit shall be calculated as a percentage of the rate set out in Part I of Schedule 4; in a case where the second contribution condition would have been satisfied if the multiplier in that condition (instead of being 50) had been 37½, that percentage shall be 75 per cent, and in a case where that condition would have been satisfied if the multiplier had been 25, it shall be 50 per cent.
