Paragraph 8 Circumstances in which the transitional additional amount ceasesF1
A transitional additional amount is no longer applicable if—
the transitional additional amount is reduced to nil in accordance with paragraph 7;
the claimant was a member of a couple and ceases to be a member of that couple or becomes a member of a different couple;
the claimant was single and becomes a member of a couple; or
the claimant is no longer responsible for any child or qualifying young person for whom they were responsible at the time the tax credit closure notice was issued.
Where the claimant ceases to be entitled to state pension credit, the transitional additional amount is not, subject to sub-paragraph (3), to apply to a subsequent award to the claimant or, if the claimant is a member of a couple, their partner.
Where an award (“the subsequent award”) is made to a person who moves from Northern Ireland when they are entitled to an award of state pension credit that includes a transitional additional amount then, provided their circumstances are otherwise unchanged, the subsequent award is to include a transitional additional amount calculated as if the subsequent award were a continuation of the award made in Northern Ireland.
