(This note is not part of the Order.)


Where a disablement pension with unemployability supplement is increased in respect of a child or children, and the beneficiary is one of two persons who are spouses residing together or an unmarried couple, paragraph 4(4) of Schedule 7 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 provides that the increase shall not be payable in respect of the first child if the other person's earnings are £155 a week or more and in respect of a further child for each complete £20 by which the earnings exceed £155. This Order substitutes the amount of £160 for the amount of £155. The amount of £20 is unchanged.

Article 3 contains a revocation consequential upon the coming into operation of this Order.

This Order does not impose a charge on business.
