Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Family Credit (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (S.I. 1987 No.463) (“the Family Credit Regulations”) and the Disability Working Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992 (S.I. 1992 No.78) (“the Disability Working Allowance Regulations”).

The Regulations amend Schedule 4 to the Disability Working Allowance Regulations and Schedule 3 to the Family Credit Regulations so as to add to the list of capital to be disregarded in calculating a claimant’s capital for the purposes of working families' tax credit and disabled person’s tax credit a dwelling which the claimant intends in due course to occupy as his home but which he currently does not occupy due to living in job-related accommodation.
