These Regulations amend the Universal Credit Housing Costs (Executive Determinations) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 (S.R. 2016 No. 222) to make changes to the manner in which the local housing allowance is determined.

Regulation 2 amends those Regulations to provide that, for dwellings in specified categories in specified broad rental market areas, the local housing allowance is as currently determined but with an uplift of 3%. This Regulation further provides that for these dwellings, there is a maximum local housing allowance.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
