The Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 8(1) of the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1976 to increase the amount there specified so that a person shall not be treated as gainfully employed on any day in a week unless his earnings in the immediately preceding week have exceeded an amount equal to the lower earnings limit. Section 5 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 provides for the lower earnings limit for each tax year to be specified in regulations.
