The Social Security (Claims and Payments) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001
These Regulations provide for the Department for Social Development to deduct an amount in respect of certain child support maintenance liabilities from certain social security benefits or war pensions awarded to a beneficiary who is a non-resident parent (or in some cases his partner) and pay it to the person with care. The relevant provisions of the Child Support (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 come into operation on different dates for different types of cases. Consequently the right to make deductions under these Regulations will take effect on different dates for different types of cases.
