Means-tested additional payments Section 3: Applicable benefits or tax credits
Subsection (1) provides that where a person has a qualifying entitlement to Universal Credit and to another social security benefit in respect of a qualifying day, the Means-tested Additional Payment is to be paid in reference to entitlement of Universal Credit.
	Subsection (2) provides that where a person has a qualifying entitlement to Child Tax Credit and to Working Tax Credit in respect of a qualifying day, the Means-tested Additional Payment is to be paid in reference to entitlement of Child Tax Credit. This means that the payment will be made in the same manner as, and to the same recipient of, the Child Tax Credit.
Example (3): A person with a qualifying entitlement to more than one social security benefit
An individual reaches State Pension age on 17 May and is entitled to a Universal Credit payment of at least 1p in respect of an assessment period ending on 21 May. With effect from 17 May, they also now have an entitlement to a State Pension Credit payment of at least 1p. They will be eligible for the Means-tested Additional Payment as a result of their qualifying entitlement to Universal Credit because Universal Credit takes precedence over other social security benefits as set out in Section 3(1).
