  "text": "(1) If on the relevant day the relevant amount exceeds the provisional amount, an additional amount (“the transitional amount”) equal to the difference shall be applicable to a claimant to whom sub-paragraph (2) applies.\n(2) This sub-paragraph applies to a claimant who, in respect of the day before the relevant day, was entitled to either income support , an income-based jobseeker’s allowance or an income-related employment and support allowance .\n(3) The relevant day is the day in respect of which the claimant is first entitled to state pension credit.\n(4) The provisional amount means the amount of the appropriate minimum guarantee applicable to the claimant on the relevant day but for this paragraph.\n(5) The relevant amount means the amount which, on the day before the relevant day, was the claimant’s applicable amount –\n(a) for the purposes of determining his entitlement to income support, ...\n(b) for the purposes of determining his entitlement to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance,\nor\n(c) for the purposes of determining his entitlement to income-related employment and support allowance,\nless any of the following amounts included in it –\n(i) any amount determined in accordance with paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the Income Support Regulations or paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations;\n(ii) any amount by way of a residential allowance applicable in accordance with paragraph 2A of Schedule 2 to the Income Support Regulations or paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations;\n(iii) any amount by way of family premium applicable in accordance with paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to the Income Support Regulations or paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations;\n(iv) any amount by way of disabled child premium applicable in accordance with paragraph 14 of Schedule 2 to the Income Support Regulations or paragraph 16 of Schedule 1 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations, and\n(v) any amount in respect of a person other than the claimant or his partner by way of enhanced disability premium applicable in accordance with paragraph 13A of Schedule 2 to the Income Support Regulations , paragraph 7 of Schedule 4 to the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations or paragraph 15A of Schedule 1 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations.\n(6) In determining the relevant amount under sub-paragraph (5), the applicable amount shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount (if any) payable to the claimant in accordance with Part III of the Income Support (Transitional) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (transitional protection) or regulation 87(1) of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (transitional supplement to income-based jobseeker’s allowance).\n(7) If –\n(a) paragraph 1 of Schedule 7 to the Income Support Regulations or paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations applied to the claimant or his partner on the day before the relevant day, but\n(b) paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 3 does not apply to the claimant or his partner on the relevant day,\nthen for the purposes of this paragraph the relevant amount shall be determined on the assumption that the provision referred to in head (a) did not apply in his case.\n(8) Subject to sub-paragraph (9), the transitional amount shall –\n(a) be reduced by a sum equal to the amount (if any) by which the appropriate minimum guarantee increases after the relevant day;\n(b) cease to be included in the claimant’s appropriate minimum guarantee from the day on which –\n(i) the sum mentioned in head (a) equals or exceeds the transitional amount, or\n(ii) the claimant or the claimant’s partner ceases to be entitled to state pension credit.\n(9) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (8), there shall be disregarded –\n(a) any break in entitlement not exceeding 8 weeks, and\n(b) any amount by which the appropriate minimum guarantee of a patient is increased on 10th April 2006 by virtue of the substitution of paragraph 2 of Schedule 3.\n(10) This sub-paragraph applies where the relevant amount included an amount in respect of housing costs relating to a loan –\n(a) which is treated as a qualifying loan by virtue of regulation 4 of the Income Support (General) (Amendment and Transitional) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 or paragraph 18(2) of Schedule 2 to the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations or paragraph 20(2) of Schedule 6 to the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations , or\n(b) the appropriate amount of which was determined in accordance with paragraph 7(6C) of Schedule 3 to the Income Support Regulations as in operation prior to 10th April 1995 and maintained in operation by regulation 3(1) of the Income-Related Benefits (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995.\n(11) Where sub-paragraph (10) applies, the transitional amount shall be calculated or, as the case may be, recalculated, on the relevant anniversary date determined in accordance with paragraph 7(4C) of Schedule 2 (“the relevant anniversary date”) on the basis that the provisional amount on the relevant day included, in respect of housing costs, the amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 7(1) of that Schedule as applying from the relevant anniversary date and not the amount in respect of housing costs determined on the basis of the amount of the loan calculated in accordance with paragraph 7(4A) of that Schedule.\n(12) The transitional amount as calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (11) shall only be applicable from the relevant anniversary date.",
