The Social Security Benefits Up-rating and Miscellaneous Increases Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000
These Regulations increase from £49·50 to £58·50 the limit of earnings from a councillor’s allowance in relation to incapacity benefit. The increase is partly consequential on an order under section 132 of the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992, and also aligns the councillor’s allowance limit with the therapeutic earnings limit in incapacity benefits.
