Income Support (General) and Jobseeker's Allowance Amendment Regulations 1999 c.1921

Income Support (General) and Jobseeker's Allowance Amendment Regulations 1999 No. 1921

Summary:

These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1967) and the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/207).

In particular, regulation 2 of these Regulations provides that where a claimant's applicable amount includes an amount in respect of his housing costs for a loan which exceeds the appropriate amount, periods of entitlement to income support or jobseeker's allowance will only link for the purpose of determining continuous entitlement to those benefits prior to payment of housing costs or where the previous benefit claim ceased because the claimant or his partner was a welfare to work beneficiary.

These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.

Made Under:

Jobseekers Act 1995 (C. 18) - sections 4(5), 35(1) and 36(1), (2) and (4)
