Regulation 13 Appeals etc relating to universal creditI1

a decision is made that a claimant is not entitled to universal credit (“the UC decision”);

the claimant becomes entitled to income support, housing benefit or a tax credit (a “relevant benefit”);

an appeal against the UC decision is finally determined, or the decision is revised under Article 10 of the Social Security Order 1998;

an award of universal credit is made to the claimant in consequence of entitlement arising from the appeal, or from the decision as revised; and

the claimant would (were it not for the effect of regulation 3 and this regulation) be entitled to both universal credit and a relevant benefit in respect of the same period.

all awards of a relevant benefit to which the claimant would (were it not for the effect of these Regulations) be entitled are to terminate, by virtue of this regulation, at the beginning of the first day of entitlement to that award; and

any legislative provision F1except regulation 6(2A) under which an award would otherwise terminate on a later date does not apply.
