These Regulations further amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 by increasing to £28.80 the personal allowance for single claimants and lone parents under the age of 18 who are eligible for the disability premium (regulation 2). They also increase the maximum amounts applicable to persons living in residential care homes and nursing homes and to persons living in accommodation provided under the Polish Resettlement Act 1947(c. 19) (regulations 3 and 4).
1986 c. 50; section 84(1) is an interpretation provision and is cited because of the meanings assigned to the words "prescribed" and "regulations".
1975 c. 14; section 166(3A) was inserted by section 62 of the Social Security Act 1986 (c. 50) and section 166(1) to (3A) is applied by section 83(1) of that Act.
See the Social Security Act 1986, section 61(1)(b) and (10); the Social Security Act 1989 (c. 24), Schedule 8, added a definition of "regulations" to section 61(10) of the Act of 1986.
Paragraph 13A was inserted by S.I. (1989/1678), regulation 11(c).
