Commentary on Sections Schedule 1: Administration Schedule 1, paragraphs 4 to 12
142.The rules about how entitlement to social security benefits is to be decided, including the way appeals are to be resolved, are in the Social Security Act 1998 and related regulations.  These paragraphs add references to Pension Credit in the relevant provisions of the Social Security Act 1998. The effect of this is that the established decision-making and appeal provisions of the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/991) will apply to Pension Credit.
