The Social Security (Reciprocal Agreements) Order 2012
Part 1 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 includes provision for the transition from incapacity benefit to employment and support allowance. This Order provides for social security legislation to be modified to take account of changes made by that Act and regulations made under it, to give effect to the alterations in Schedule 1, in relation to the Orders in Council listed in Schedule 2, with respect to that transition. Those Orders in Council give effect to agreements made between the Government of the United Kingdom and the governments of other countries providing for reciprocity in certain social security matters.
