The Housing Renewal Grants (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2002
These Regulations amend the Housing Renewal Grants Regulations 1996 (“the Regulations”) which set out the means test for determining the amount of renovation grant and disabled facilities grant which may be paid by local housing authorities to owner-occupier and tenant applicants under Chapter 1 of Part I of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. The amendments are mainly consequential on changes to the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971) upon which the means test is based.
