Regulation E32 Benefits not assignable

Any assignment of or charge on or agreement to assign or charge any benefit under this Part is void.

An allocation under regulation E11 is not an assignment, and an arrangement for the recovery by the Secretary of State of an overpayment does not constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign.

On the bankruptcy of a person entitled to a benefit under this Part no part of the benefit passes to any trustee or other person acting on behalf of the creditors, except in accordance with an income payments order made by a court under section 156 of the Insolvency Act 1985^f1.
