The Income Support (General) and Jobseeker’s Allowance (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002
These Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the Income Support Regulations”) and the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (“the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations”) so as to amend the definition of “self-employment route” to include assistance in pursuing self-employed earner’s employment whilst participating in the New Deal for Lone Parents. This brings the calculation of income of such participants within the scope of the special rules contained in Chapter IVA of Part V of the Income Support Regulations and in Chapter IVA of Part VIII of the Jobseeker’s Allowance Regulations.
