For entitlement to home repair assistance a local housing authority has to be satisfied that the conditions set out in section 77(1) of the Act apply. These include the condition that the applicant or the applicant's partner is in receipt of a benefit listed in subsection (1)(e). These Regulations enable income-based jobseeker's allowance to be treated as a benefit within that subsection.
