The Employment and Support Allowance (Transitional Provisions, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit) (Existing Awards) (No. 2) (Amendment) Regulations 2010
These Regulations amend the Employment and Support Allowance (Transitional Provisions, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit) (Existing Awards) (No. 2) Regulations 2010 (“the Migration Regulations”) and the Employment and Support Allowance Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”). They also make a small amendment to the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 2001. The Migration Regulations set out the process for determining whether existing awards (of incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance or income support on the grounds of incapacity) are to be converted into awards of an employment and support allowance (“ESA”).
