The Pensions Act 2004 (PPF Payments and FAS Payments) (Consequential Provisions) Order 2006
This Order amends the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (c. 4) (“the Contributions and Benefits Act”), the Jobseekers Act 1995 (c. 18) (“the Jobseekers Act”) and the State Pension Credit Act 2002 (c. 16) (“the Pension Credit Act”) so as to allow adult dependency increases, incapacity benefit and state pension credit to take into account Pension Protection Fund periodic payments (“periodic PPF payments”), and for contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance to take into account PPF payments and Financial Assistance Scheme payments (“FAS payments”), in a similar way to that in which pensions and benefit payments are treated.
