The New Deal Pilot for 25 Plus (Miscellaneous Provisions) Order (Northern Ireland) 1999
This Order provides that, for the purposes of Part 1 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 7) and the Jobseekers (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/2705 (N.I. 15)) and of the subordinate legislation specified in the Schedule of the Order, a person using facilities provided in pursuance of the employment programme known as “the intensive activity period of the New Deal Pilot for 25 plus self-employment route” and receiving or entitled to receive in connection with the use of those facilities a top-up payment or assistance with the expenses of participation or both shall be treated as not being employed and as being in receipt of a grant rather than a training allowance. The effect of the Order is that receipt of the top-up payment or expenses on the part of those using the facilities does not affect their entitlement to continue to receive jobseeker’s allowance nor the conditions on which Jobseeker’s Allowance is paid to them.
